the first paragraph talks about serious limitations on access of record and the second paragraph department of justice recently faced restriction. i was going to say welcome to the club. it's no -- i think it's noticeable that four of these six republican members here are also from the oversight committee. i know, we have a hearing tomorrow on the very issue. we have been frustrated from the kind of response we've gotten from the internal revenue service and the department of justice. we share your frustration and want to commend you. i've been impressed with your service to the pubic. this is critical.

to some of the language in 5 the word very say recommendation 57 in our response the third full paragraph from the bottom at the end you have the same problem it size the commission and director note that the campaign i would strike the words the director the commission notes this is a response to the commission not the response of the executive director with with all respect to mr. sinclair. the other thing i would mention in order to have a more civil tone to our response going on along with what i said at the beginning up under paragraph 3 on page 4 where we say disagree partially we say this assertion is not completely true i ask we use the term not completely accurate to say something it not tell you there's an implication the grand jury is being false and i think that would be unfortunate unfortunate for us to do so i ask that change. those are my observations as to four and five >> thank you commissioner keane any other comments from the commissioners? i have a question about both of those. and i confess is made me i maybe deficit in my technical capacities but i find it surprising

>> particularly, i have some questions about the paragraph, or the first full paragraph on page 13, where it begins the ethics commission has the authority to investigate complaints? >> and my first question has to do with the volume of complaints that were under review. it seems like there was a pretty substantial drop in the number of pending or new complaints that were under review by the ethics commission? do we understand why that is. >> i think for a long time, we had a backlog of complaints, and we spent a good portion of that year, trying to catch up with them. and did that. with a lot of older things that were pending. and so, some of those 146 probably had been held on from years, or a year or two or maybe even three before that fp >> okay. >> and then it says that 78 were resolved during the fiscal year and so that is 78 of the 99 that were resolved? >> right. >> and 63 of them were resolved because they were not within the jurisdiction of the ethics commission? >> or that they determined that this was not enough to pursue a formal complaint. >> and so we only investigated 15 t

i would write something that was two paragraphs. too long. would say, well -- they said just put up a picture. well, wait a second. why can't you read two paragraphs in the same time you can look at a picture? no. you can't do three things at once. if you are reading. you can if you are just looking. >> welcome to my world. in so many ways you have been a trailblazer for women in this field. how is that label, that accolade fit you? how does that garment feel? >> it makes me think get up and get out there and do this story. it's -- i'm just always looking for the next way that i can help to make a difference, and now that i'm in my 70s, you know, time is shorter. i know i'm never going to probably see the tajmahal or climb mount everest, but i can still, you know, maybe influence people's way of thinking by a story that i do, by something i learn about the world. it's cultural reporting. that is what i learned from my mentor, margaret meade, and she told me what you need to do whenever there is -- you hear about, you know, an explosion, a rev

. >> my motion would follow-up on what i've said reinforcing before in regards to that paragraph as to one a we san diego and goes on to chase tis the grand jury for not citing specifics i'll take that whole thing out and our response to that we agree that the ethics commission lacks sufficient resources to handle much of its work. it's necessary as the chair indicated it fails to specifically address those specifics with the grand jury puts there as an example put that language in so the resources to handle is most of its work that includes major enforcement cases cases alleging misconduct and the language in the paragraph >> what about the last sentence in one a you want that deleted? >> i'd leave that in there this is appropriate in terms of the commission saying we had this commission like many agencies in have full resources just that language itself contradicts what we're doing fine we have plenty of phone number money leave that in while the ethics commission awhile agencies does not have the full resources to carry out its mission its productive because the commission the staff

chair for the language on page 16 recommendation 25 in the middle of the paragraph the director notes i'd change that to the commission notes. >> anything else? i would - i have a couple of amendments on 24 on the recommendation it is sort of seems like it's not responding to the recommendation i mean that be directed to the mayor and the board of supervisors if that he direct it to the to court we should provide it to them but it is nonresponsive as written in my view. i would propose an amendment in the mayor or board makes a request i ask we comply with it. on 25 the recommendation i mean, i think to see what commissioner keanes comments that is sort of apple pie here, of course, if we had the resources shouldn't we do the things that be suggested in recommendation 25? and so i would change the recommendation to say provide with sufficient resources the commission could and would do the work - do more work as indicated by the findings of something to the effect. any comments from the commissioners? is there a motion to amend 24, 25 as proposed by commissioner keane and commissioner

, in the middle of the paragraph there is a sentence referencing the preserve america grant. if you recall that grant expired a couple years ago. this is meant to refer to the cog grant that i just explained to you. so that krog grant will be available. so if you have any questions, or you would like to discuss this further at a future hearing, i would be happy to do that. i wanted to make sure you had this information at this hearing. that concludes my comments unless you have any questions. thank you. >> thank you, commissioners any questions for staff on this? >> seeing none, mr. frye, i do have questions but with landmarks, we'll take it up there. it's about conversations about how to move stuff forward by guaranteeing hours. we'll take it up under that item. seeing no other comments we'll move on. >> that places you on commissioner matters, item 2, announcements. >> i have no announcements. >> item 3. corrections on adoption to the minutes of the meeting . >> any correction? any member of the public wish to comment? seeing none. >> i move we adopt them. >> second. >> tha

this is one paragraph that she would say in the early part of her speech. it created some excitement when it woman's bonnet was thrown into the arena for the office of governor. there are those that exclaimed with amazement that a woman should have the to narrate to offer herself to so important a position. leaders of the opposite party tried by subtle methods to sway and once they launched the slogan it was no place for a woman. she did become involved in national politics. she became the vice chair of the national democratic committee. she was involved with women and what they were doing with politics. when franklin roosevelt was running for president in 1932 nellie became active in that campaign. after roosevelt became president nellie had hoped to get an office in his administration. she was hoping to become secretary of the interior. unfortunately for nellie that went to frances perkins who he selected as a as the secretary of labor. nellie did not succeed in becoming a cabinet member but appointed the first woman director of the u.s. mint. >> -- i hav

he starts new paragraph finally i want to say today about the prayers of the american people and goesn. he did not talk about isis until a reporter asked him about it. >> he is who he is, we have to accept that. an off day of clumsiness and articulate expression bi. this is a man who said on the outset, he means what he says and doing what he means to do. however awkward, however counterproductive, he is our president, that is the deal. what is troubling to me is to hear john mccain and others talk, what we will give him, whatever he needs to bomb the islamic state in syria. traces we should be deliberate about, and the fact of the matter is no one mentioned the word iran. iran is responsible for far more casualties than two americans that they beheaded on video and stirs our passions, as it shou should. anti-american strategies across the middle east, but this possible to a third of the casualties in iraq and there is no outcry, we need some people to start thinking straight. >> earlier in the hour you were bringing up the other side of this, our palette for going back to work. do we

didn't change a single word in the paragraph we're most interested in. he has no kind word to say about government a mt all. in fact government is them, not us. government is tyranny. government is george iii and all the horribleth things he has doe to us. maybe more about monarchy and government per se. inm know awful lot of tea partys in who think jefferson is their god because of his hostile attitude toward government. >> that isti another place i wod provide a picture of the declaration. here i think you have to pay close attention to the list of grievances which regrettably most of us like to skip right over and skim through really quickly. but the remarkable thing about them to me, pay close attention, they divide into, in effect five parts. the first grouping is all complaints about georgia's violation of legislative branch of government. the second group of complaints are about judicial function. third group complains about executive function. then you have a kind of a subst group where lots of complaints repeated all relate to the quebec act bas
