the vast majority of current removals meet dhs's enforcement priorities and changes to the priorities would likely have a modest impact on the total removal numbers. >> okay. all right. hope that gives you a good summation of an enormous amount of numbers, more of which you will find in the report itself. but they actually do really add up to these broad conclusions. so with that let me turn to you, rebecca. >> thank you, doris. and thank you, mark. and good morning to everyone. i just want to thank mpi for inviting me to participate in today's discussion. i really appreciate the opportunity to be able to discuss some of gao's work. looking at some of the issues and topics related to some of the issues and top iblgs that are raised mpi's report, which are being issued today. before i turn to my remarks on some of gao's more specific reports, i just want to give you a little more background on me and also who gao is in case some of you who may not be familiar about who we are as an agency. so as doris mentioned, i'm a director in gao's homeland and security justice team, and in that ca

>> guest: they weren't addressing the priority. so the priority wasn't survival. the priority was having as good a life as possible for as long as possible. when you understood that when you're making different choices and trade-offs. it didn't matter it was a pulsing body. she was like to do the thing she wanted to do and what she said was her because priority was keeping her home. now if you ask, if i asked you, do you know this for risk factors for someone, for the likelihood of falling and the three most important things that we can do? we weren't taught that. we don't know that. not part of our training. and so we didn't teach people along the way in residency come in medical school before that. what is the science of the aging population? and have done. what are the skills required to help people achieve the best possible outcomes? it actually is often something that requires the deployment of medical technology but it's for different goals. i think what has happened is that our medical valleys, our fundamentally about health, safety and survival without rec

>> guest: they were not addressing the priorities. the priority was not survival. priority was having as good a life as possible for as long as possible. when you understood it that way you were making different choices are trade-offs. it mattered that she was alive to do the things she wanted to do, and what she said was the difference in priority was keeping her own and so if you ask -- if i ask you, you know that there are four risk factors were someone -- for the likelihood of falling and the three most important things that we can do. i didn't know that. and so we did not teach people all along the way in the residency, and medical school before that, what is the science of the aging body? what are the skills required to help people achieve the best possible outcomes? it actually is often something that requires the implement of medical technology, but for different goals. and i think that what has happened is, our medical values are fundamentally about health, safety, survival. we are recognizing that well-being is bigger. the second force, the whole -- who a

so the administration could instead define its public safety priority or its criminal alien priority to prioritize people who have been convicted of violent crimes or people who have been convicted of felonies or recently been convicted of crimes or felonies. or it could deprioritize people whose only criminal offense was for an immigration crime. the administration could also narrow its definition of its other two enforcement priorities, recent border crossers, which is currently defined as anybody who entered many the last three years, or people to who disregard deportation orders, which currently includes somebody who was deported 20 years ago. so in this report that we issued last week, we go through a lot of detail about different scenarios and i'm not going to go through all the numbers. i just want to tell you that the bottom line is that when you look at interior enforcement, playing with the enforcement priorities in the ways that i just described would not have a huge impact on the number of people removed. i would say 30,000 is an optimistic -- you know, that's a very far-

our priorities. >> mr. speaker, the "wall street journal" is out with a report saying that president obama has sent a secret letter to iran's supreme leader on fighting isis, your reaction, sir? >> i don't trust the iranians. i don't think we need to bring them into this. and i would hope that the negotiations that are underway are serious negotiations. but i have my doubts. >> if, having heard your reiterated threat, the president said suddenly, fine, i will take no executive action on immigration. could you guarantee him that he will hold votes on legislation next year? >> i have made my position very clear. it is time for the congress of the united states to deal with a very difficult issue in our society. this immigration issue because a -- has become a political football over the last 10 years or more, it's just hard to deal -- it's just time to deal with it. >> can your party presidential nominee be forced to run if you -- >> this is not about politics. this is trying to do the right thing for the cou

so the san francisco transportation plan is san francisco's long range blueprint for the city's priorities in terms of transportation, and bringing both the multimodal and operator and network approach. and the management and agencies are charged with updating the county wide transportation plan and for the mtc updated guidelines and we are recommended to update the plans to track the regional plan in the community strategies every foreyears. the first long range county wide plan was adopted in 2004 by the transportation authority board, and emphasized among other things, an investment extrainggy for prop k, and as well as strategic policy initiatives that led to studies further down the line, including the parking and pricing and the pilot studies and the congestion and pricing, and the muni and among others, the comprehensive update on that county wide transportation plan was the san francisco transportation plan and that continued the update of the plan, and emphasized additional areas, including an investment plan and an investment vision, which anticipated new revenue sources that cou

and the san francisco transportation plan is the formal mechanism for inputing san francisco priorities into the regional transportation plan and ses. so the 2013 update and the comprehensive update, included a broad out reach and a trade and sequence strategy, with several different city agencies to take into account, the different components including the climate and the air quality component and the land use component and the economic development components and the transportation, and in addition to that there was coalition building with the staff from the city of oakland and san jose and cal train and bart, a multiagency approach was taken to update the plan and emphasizing that we need to speak with one voice in san francisco to be most effective in this process. so, few of the attributes that make the sftp a strong kaor lacing and a planning mechanism, first one is long range system planning it is multty operator and model and network and it is performance based and that allows us both transparency and objectiveness in identifying the priorities for san francisco in terms are what

>> guest: there were not addressing the prior day's their priority was to have as good a life as possible for as long as possible and once you understand it that way it was just she was alive to do what she wanted to do in her biggest priority was to keep her home. you know, the four risk factors are the likelihood of falling in the most important thing we can do? so we did not teach people along the way the science of the aging body. that is the skills required to achieve the best possible outcome and what has happened is our medical values but the second course to are the lowest paid people in our profession? not us surgeon but the psychiatrist in geriatricians and palliative and primary care physicians but if they take time to talk to people to allow people to have the time to talk and get an understanding of what matters in people's lives and then plan accordingly but we could do an operation or colonoscopy. >> i did not even know there was a field call geriatrics. did you in school? it grew like pediatrics crew where folks are so specialized with infectious diseases or primary care t

to be project areas and the high priority is given to the hunters bay viewpoint area. we do currently have three project major areas, hunters point, shipyard candle stick point, mission bay and transbay, but there's other projects in outlying areas from development that's shown in the reports as well. i want to acknowledge in march 4 of 2014 we did -- ocii entered into with oewd. overall we look at -- what is it? in the sense of priorities being given to bay view hunters point, but i want to also talk a little bit about the alice griffith mou. there is a separate priority list for alice griffith projects an i just want to, for the sake of the benefit of those in the audience and for yourselves, just highlight the priority list, don't take that quite as seriously in terms of offering opportunities for local community residents. for alice griffith projects the priority is for alice griffith residents, particularly we look within the zip code of 94134 and 94107. and then on a fourth basis we look al san francisco housing residents in general. lower than that particular po

. >> what are the priorities?er one is safety, something that oakland has struggled with for a long time. it is the most basic service that people deserve. oaklanders need to feel confident that a cop will come when they fall. they need to feel like their city is safe and we need to make sure the rest of the world sees oakland as a safe, vibrant city. >> it is so basic, that feeling of safety. why is it so difficult to deliver? is it just a shortage of police officers? >> you know, public safety has been a problem in oakland my whole life. as you know i'm born and raised here in oakland all of my life. it is not a new struggle for oakland. but we now have examples of cities that are incredibly safer. los angeles is a great example for me, 81% reduction in crime. that is what for oakland. >> how do you think you will adapt? how will go about that? does the city need a new police chief, for example? >> i'm a big believer in pro active problem-solving policing, and data, and recognizing that policing is not the total

i hope you have that priority. if you don't, we will all regret it. it was planned by 20 people they spent less than a million dollars. look at the damage they have done to the country. yes, i'm very much worried about what happens over there. not one soldier, not one penny of aid that did not work out well for us. i will never repeat that mistake again of ignoring the dangers. the dangers are real. you got to make solving problems better than just saying no. let's start with the highway trust fund. hybridy of you drive a car? not many. 10 years from now, a lot of people will raise their hands. how far can you travel on a gallon of gas? the trust fund is running out of money. we are $9 billion short this year. you have got the same trouble in south carolina. how would i start to break gridlock? i would get republicans and democrats in the room and say -- i'm working with barbara boxer for a one-time good deal at 10% and apply the revenue to the highway trust fund to be clinched it in the short time. immigration, highway trust fund, working on the marg

these numbers are shocking. 41% say top financial priority is paying bills. leave a lot of room for saving for retirement or putting your kids through college. >> you're absolutely right, gerri. we've seen this three years in a row this has been the top priority and by increasing extent each year. it is 41% this year. that is up from what we found each of the two previous years. so i think it just reflects reality that some people have where the paycheck hasn't increased, they have, other bills that they have to pay. and so keeping their head above water, really ends up taking a top priority. as you said, it doesn't leave a whole lot of room for the other things like looking toward the future. putting kids through college. >> let me interrupt you here. because, we get such good, positive, economic data. apparently the jobs, unemployment rate is going down. you know, apparently, the economy, the president tells me the economy is going great guns. why is it that more and more people are saying, just paying the bills is the top priority? >> you know, that's havi

performance-based navigation has been one of our key priorities. we helped develop the priorities that the trannineteen said. we think they are critical. the whole point of them is to move to some near-term benefits of the stakeholders can see some benefit from investments that have to be made. some of it is going painfully slowly despite best efforts. pbn is a key. we have moved very slowly. we're going, basically city by city, metroplex by metroplex with not a lot of shown for. a lot has to do with the procedures being developed. we have equipment on the aircraft to do it. but the process or the procedures to get those planes to use it is not really happening very quickly and there's a whole variety of reasons. some of which are detailed in our written testimony. it's a matter of us being able to fly, a matter of the controls being able to use them in different places. if we are going to do it's got to be more scalable across the country otherwise will take years and years to get to work. we have other technologies that are not harmonize with oth

want to do is a lot of stuff that will hurt themselves and their party's policy priorities and help the republicans get what they want without a sweat. today white house chief of staff dennis mcdonough went to capitol hill and told senate democrats that for this last lame duck session while democrats are still in control of the senate, what they should focus on is things that the senate can do alone, and things that the senate can do with a majority vote while democrats still hold that majority. he said specifically they should focus on nominations, on getting the president's nominees confirmed. >> we talked about nominations generally and we really want to get, obviously, get some progress and get our people into the slots because we have a lot of important work to do. >> there's one thing that senate democrats definitely can do right now alone with this last bit of power that they've got before the republicans take control of the senate. they can confirm president obama's pending nominees. i mean, the republicans certainly are not going to do that when they're in control, right? but t

>> his priority then, it wasn't my priority, was the affordable care act. that was his priority then. >> what makes it a priority now? there's a lot going on in the world. the economy imploding again, right? >> there was an election in november of 2012, president won by 5 million votes. he said it was going to be a priority. he did get it through, he got it through the senate with 68 votes, very bipar sanship. look, everybody keeps talking about the border. they had 30,000 additional border patrol agents in that bill. the house refused. everybody keeps talking about securing the border. why do they always talk about the border between the united states and mexico? what about the border at l.a.x.? jfk? o'hare? the border at miami? that's where 4 million-plus undocumented workers -- >> no doubt, all fair arguments. >> we never talk about that. i want to secure all borders. >> but you talk about how this is the humane and right thing to do, as you did last time. you've heard the art thanch is a matter of time before the other seven or eight illegals are essent

and so that is a priority for me. i think that the morton memo, the march morton memo that you referred to, march 2011, could use some additional clarity. and i know that the i.c.e. leadership agrees with that. >> so we should expect that? >> i didn't say that. that's my view. >> related to that, what have we learned from dacca and what kind of lessons have we learned about the use of prosecutorial discretion, the use of a process that affects, could affect over a million people. we're in the second round of dacca. what have you taken away in your first year here in terms of how successful has it been, what can we learn, what can we do better? >> cis has learned a lot about implementation of such a program from that experience. something like over 700,000 people have applied. we're in the renewal phase right now. i think there has been something like 600,000 who have been accepted into dacca. very definitely when you start up a new program there are lessons learned in doing so. and i think from my -- i wasn't part of

. >> so when we see that that'd be mindful i know it's a priority by so are vision 2025 and some of the other things i want to make sure that you have roll clear that is in coordination with the not because - >> should repertain the vote when we bring it back with the right language is that all right. >> okay. no 10 memos on it just one. >> mr. sandyer sound and commissioners i hear you thank you. >> can we ask we don't get a million people at the time podium and people freaking out and all the crap that happened last time can we help them to understand we need more clarity in the language and tests not being any - >> right. >> okay. so this is good by consensus. >> okay superintendent proposals are enough tonight and first reading next the resolution in support of repeat of local caps introduced by commissioner norton and commissioner wynns and a we have a motion and a second to have the most at first reading roll call vote for suspension the rules. >> mr. haney ms. maufass ms. mendoza-mcdonnell dr. murase ms. norton ms. wynns. >> president fewer 7 i's. >> may i have a motion and secon

i think that's why. >> what's your top priority going to be? >> the one or two top priorities are what the voighteters talkede about. education and a job employment in california. >> i know you were a supporter of the teacher tenure. do you plan to do something for that? >> i think there is support for reforming the teacher tenure system, particularly on how to award and provide development for good teachers. there's a lot of them. also make it easier to have teachers have life-long professional development, which the tenure system suppresses. makes it spotty. >> democrats are in charge. in sacramento, there are a lot of democrats in both houses. the governor is a democrat. how -- to get anything done, you're going to have to work with democrats. >> yeah. >> where do you see that common ground? >> well, it starts with the way i ran my race, to get bipartisan support. i think that's an indication of how i would intend to work with others in the capital. it starts with building relationships as well with those across the aisle who have the same p

that is a priority for me in that martin memo could use some additional clarity. i know that the leadership agrees with that. [laughter] >> relating to what we have learned from daca use the prosecutorial discretion or the effects could affect more than 1 million people are within the second round of daca what have you taken away with how successful it has been? >> guest: we have learned a lot. the implementation though such a program from that experience. something like over 700,000 people have applied for the renewal phase. there is something like 600,000 accepted into daca. when you start up a new program there are lessons learned. i was not part of d.h. us in 2012 but my observation is while they're may have been bumps in the road within a large government program the implementation is relatively well. and it made a lot of people happy to provide for a better life for a lot of people. that is my take. >> host: we saw a report about to come out from an academic and california that when people reapplied they had to put dated down on their earnings and their inco

for workforce reversals the first had are the combination of the ocii priority as established in the pc p obviously with alice griffith residents being the first priority and the rest is established in the z ph bp. >> another item i want to highlight is the development of infrastructure financing we're proposing another issue i'm sure you're aware of lamar is responsible for the costs at alice griffith we're proposing to include those costs for the calculation of tax credits for the first two phases for the reduction will be reduced by $2.2 million each for phases one and two and laura lamar will take responsibility and receive the payment on the loans by lamar and finally, i wanted to talk a key ancestry the cash flow it establishes the cash flow among the agencies for each vertical phase the ocii and the housing authority the mou establishes how the cash flow are made to the ocii and others for the loans it includes the subsidies provide for each phases and they'll be lending the phase 13 all repayments go to the mc d as the housing per phase the lessor of the ground lease cash wil

of the general plan established by prop m as i spell out on page 2 of our supplemental brief the priority policies were specifically established to be the basis on which inconsistent in the general plan are to are resolved if the department finds itself in conflict with building new concussion it has to find in favor of preserving the existing housing this is what the policies are for and why they're there department and developer failed to address this issue at all they don't mention the priority policies not even referenced in either brief albert einstein said one can't simultaneously prevent and prepare for war it it doesn't take a genus to see that one standpoint simultaneously prevent the program and at the same time allow professional developers speculating in our residential neighborhoods to demolish sound affordable rent control units every don't guess the sound like affordable and rerld units is a direct attack on residents rights it's an attack on the integrity and an attack on the promise made by the establishment of that system the failure to enforce the policies is one of the

so the administration could instead define its public safety priority or its criminal alien priority to prioritize people who have been convicted of violent crimes or people who have been convicted of felonies or recently been convicted of crimes or felonies. or it could deprioritize people whose only criminal offense was for an immigration crime. the administration could also narrow its definition of its other two enforcement priorities, recent border crossers, which is currently defined as anybody who entered many the last three years, or people to who disregard deportation orders, which currently includes somebody who was deported 20 years ago. so in this report that we issued last week, we go through a lot of detail about different scenarios and i'm not going to go through all the numbers. i just want to tell you that the bottom line is that when you look at interior enforcement, playing with the enforcement priorities in the ways that i just described would not have a huge impact on the number of people removed. i would say 30,000 is an optimistic -- you know, that's a very far-

priorities. and to confront the big challenges that face middle-class families starting with the economy. you've heard me talk many times about the many jobs bills that the outgoing state majority has ignored. those bills will offer the congress i think a new start. we can act on the keystone pipeline, restore the 40-hour work week that was gutted by obama care. and pass the hire more heros act that would encourage our businesses to hire more of our veterans. and again, this is just a start. i've been going around the country outlining my own personal vision for how we can re-set america's economic foundation. the energy boom that's going on in america is real. and i think it provides us with a very big opportunity. but to maximize that opportunity i believe that we need to do five things, and that is fix our broken tax code, address the debt that's hurting our economy and imprisoning the future of our kids and grandkids, reform our legal system, reshape our regulatory policy to make bureaucrats

this shows you bart key capitol priorities and our general outline is what we called the big three, and the state of good repair, the capacity, or the station's program and expansion, and so going back to the big three for a second and a year ago the board defined the new fleet, hayward maintenance complex and the system as the first priority and we have substantial priorities for the three projects. >> we have the number of investments of the number four of what we called the station's program. >> and so we have disstilled the remaining three investment choices and the state of good repair and capacity and expansion, and expansion in that context involves both new quarters and in-fill stations. i want to note that an expansion corridor in the bart service area may not be served by bart technology and we are looking at a time line of 30 to 50 years for some of this, and seeking to inform the board's priority decisions and given the finite resources. there is a look at those finite resources the bart financial context is we expect the increasing shortfall over the next ten years as it lo

same priorities we've had at the last two street light hearing that supervisor wiener called so 7 priorities with you know crime, accidents and cost high cost of maintenance being the top 3 reasons to focus the dollars in those areas we're also now more telegraph hill engaged in pedestrian lighting we've participated in the better streets plan that supervisor wiener alluded to easily and have now adapted pedestrian latin-american policy at the sf puc and i'm happy to say that the capital plan includes that i had lighting now where it hadn't in the past he the other highlight from the 10 year capital plan we're also just recently completed street light assessment that assessment use a sample to project what our capital needs will be and has estimated one .5 to over $5 million for urgent repairs on the street light system like you alluded to the gerrero corridor that's been fixed but not the only area that is in urgent need of repair that assessment provided us with a uniform and comprehensive method to take outdo the field and now need an implementation plan for the work. >> the capital plan
