science. so says the federal government. one of the scientists involved in the report is now charging that the department subverted science for political ends. it is time that the ideological zealotry that threw thousands of families into unemployment be replaced with practical and fact-based solutions that keep our promises. it's time we replaced a higher value on human lives than on the bureaucratic dictates of the environmental left. that's what this bill does. that's what the gentleman's amendment would prevent. finally, the gentleman would insert a requirement that the act require the best available science to move forward. well, the gentleman knows that what he's termed best available science was literally thrown out of court with the court saying not only is it not the best available science, it wasn't science at all. the only practical effect of the provision is provide employment for the only growth sector left in california's economy, environmental lawsuits, intended not to win because ultimately they do lose but rather to delay projects indefinitely and make them cost prohibited to pursue. but i compliment the gentleman on h

political science and film major u.c. santa cruz i definitely had my fair share of little professors but my friends in the economics department have all different story. and it's just not true that all professors are liberal universities like the university of chicago bastions for conservative economic thought so once again rick santorum is just flat wrong now next on respond to a commenter that watched our interview on the weekend e-mail us a.t.m. dusty commented on you tube well we can leave is a great idea to make information public they haven't really said anything that should not have already been know the only thing that i have seen is that putting a spin on documents that shows they aren't honest that is one thing it is common sounds like it's familiar even reading or listening to any of the media commentary on the latest wiki leaks release or you only hear two things we think is bad and the information they released is worthless the same thing was said about the wiki leaks state department cable release everything rush to say the cables were useless there was nothing new and then proceeded to write story after story a

state political science professor says that 65% support is a healthy majority and a sign that people are tiring of cuts and are ready to pitch in more. >> as long as the schools and fire departments, police departments are covered, then that's fine. if i have to pay more, that's fine with me. education is a mess right now. i think everybody has to do their part. >> voters also want more specifics on what their money would be spent on and that is not likely to happen. that's because if the city were to earmark the funds, it would take two thirds of voters to pass it. if the funds are not earmarked, it only takes a simple majority and the money goes into the general fund and that may be too general for some voters. >> most people won't allocate their spending in this economy unless they have specific information what it's going for and will they be beneficiaries of it. >> that political science professor also says that any tax measure that is a better chance of passing if it is tied to some sort of fiscal reform, like pension reform. by the way, this is not a done deal. there hasn't been a ballot measure written for the june election. the city council will take up the issue tomorro
