supervisor chiu, please explain why we should be voting for this proposition. >> so proposition e is a measure it reform our current business tax. over a decade ago, a lawsuit forced our city to use a business tax that is problematic for many reasons. first and foremost, it is a tax on jobs. every time a local employer hires someone there is a business payroll tax that's levied on that person. secondly, it is a tax that is only levied on 10 percent of all businesses and many of these are small businesses who have really been asking for reform for many many years. currently we are the only city in the state of california that uses this business payroll tax. our city government, we spent 6 months earlier this year in conversations with many leaders within the community to propose a change to a so-called gross receipts tax, which is superior on a number of levels. first and foremost, it's a tax on revenue. it's a tax on profit. it's also a progressive tax, unlike the current flat tax it's a tax that exempts small businesses that have revenues of less than a million dollars but it also i

but proposition a is really a component of that. it's not everything that needs to happen at san francisco city college right now, but it is a huge component and it will make a tremendous difference in ensuring that city college is here for san franciscoans in the future. >> thank you. is there any further response you have, starchild? >> every time we take more money from the taxpayers remember that's cutting into the budgets of families and individuals of san francisco who have to pay for their own education. outside city college they have to pay for housing and health care and food and other family needs, so it's a little bit misleading when we talk in terms of, well, what's going to happen to city college? we also need to think about what's going to happen to the people, hundreds of thousands of san franciscoans which have to pay this little bit of extra tax every year, which could be a lot for some of them, $80 a year. city college is spending 92 percent of their budget on staff when realistic budget is 85 percent. there's room

jerry brown is speaking on proposition 30 which is very close at this hour. >> proposition 30, i know a lot of people had some doubts, had some questions about can you really go to the people and ask them to vote for a tax. well, when i ran for governor, i said three things. one, i want to level with you. no more smoke and mirrors on the budget. two, we're not going to have any taxing unless people vote for it. three, move government as close as we can to local government and the people. well, here we are. i think the only place in america where a state actually said let's raise our taxes for our kids for our schools for our california dream. and i want to acknowledge and recognize and thank everyone who was a part of that. people standing blind me, in front of me. the different groups that gave funds. and by the way, we ought to acknowledge that what a wide coalition. people who would not agree on many things came together. they came together for many reasons. but a core reason that brought people together is supporting proposition 30 was a belief in our schools and our university an

originally, another proposition, as well. he had to unite the california federation of teachers together, to make this one proposition. and opposition from the munger campaign. it had a hard road to travel. >> correct. the oddity is its biggest opposition came from a competing proposition. and when voters see competing proposition, they tend to vote no. so, brown had a huge uphill battle. and we can't say he's made it. but he's gone much farther than people thought he would. >> speaking confidently at this hour. it's still a slight margin. prop 30 trending in the yes direction. stay with us. >>> want to take a slight deviation from our election coverage and turn it over to jeff raineri and see what we can expect tomorrow. >> numbers will be going down here the next couple of days. 15 records in 2 days, temperatures in the upper 80s and low 90s, we're going to see numbers drop. the 89 in los gatos, going down to 61 on thursday. a 20-degree to 35-degree drop in our temperatures over the next 48 hours. a lot of cold air in the n

supervisor chiu, please explain why we should be voting for this proposition. >> so proposition e is a measure it reform our

we talked about governor brown's proposition and then proposition 34 which would repeal the death penaltyprop 36 would modify the three strikes law. one of our political analysts says he thinks these controversial propositions will inspire more people to vote. he doesn't think voter turnout will be as high as it was in 2008. >> we set some records in 2008. compared to other democracies, we do not have the level of turnout that other countries have. if we get 65%, we are patting ourselves on the back and say that is great. >> that was the voice of professor contra. >>> marla, history shows us the markets tend to stay quiet on election day. scott mcgrew says the wait and see pays off. >> good morning. it is because many investors concluded with a will happen today. historically, markets don't react strongly even after an election regardless of which candidate wins. business does better under republican, but history says the markets do better when the democrat is in office. now, note i didn't say because a democrat was in office. it is not necessarily cause and effect, but bull markets and d

. >> starchild, why do you think we should vote against this proposition? >> i agree with everything supervisor chiu said about payroll tax. if this measure were revenue neutral, if it were substituting a gross receipts tax for a tax on payroll, the libertarian party would have supported it. but unfortunately some people at city hall got greedy and so the measure is actually a 25.8 million dollars a year tax increase. during a recetion, people are suffering, many people unemployed, many people in san francisco are earning minimum wage, thousands of course on our streets. it's the wrong time to be raising taxes on businesses because the largest employers, of course, have the largest number of jobs and you incentivize those employers to go away and we're going to lose jobs. >> supervisor, from reading the material on the proposition it appears it will increase the number of businesses you will be taxing from 7500 to 15,000. doplt you think that's increasing the tax on the companies within the city? >> a couple things of note. our current business payroll tax

proposition f is about san francisco's values, it's about their environmental values. in real short explanation, it requires the city to develop a plan for the future to guarantee our water security and begin to undo the damage that our current water system does to the environment. the plan would then be brought back to the voters in 2016 for their aprafl or disapproval so it's placing the city on a trajectory we're not currently on. we don't recycle any water, we've abandoned most ground water since hetch hetchy became available and we've done real damage to the tuolome river and we begin it's time to get in line with the city's values. it's a plan the voters ultimately get to approve. >> i disagree. i think proposition f is about one thing and one thing only, about forcing the city to spend $8 million dollars to conduct a plan that would require us to drain hetch hetchy reservoir at a cost of anywhere between 3 and 10 billion dollars that gets translated to our rate payers at anywhere between $2,000 and $2700 per year per rate payer. this is a proposal largely hoiste

you were one of the primary authors of proposition c.an there's an underlying roughly 10% to 11% obligation of an employer to properly fund the pension. and you, through proposition c, actually provided that in the event -- and the event could very well happen, where the employer contributions required from the plan went lower than that 10 or 11% level, that that money was again sent over to the retiree health trust in order to retire the obligation for retiree health. be happy to answer any other questions. like i said, i was focusing on the recommendations, and i think that our policies and our practices that we can clearly public meetings, more than satisfy the recommendations or the intent of the recommendations as we read them and the mayor's office and the controller's office have also supported the retirement system and the board's position on -- in responding to these. >> supervisor elsbernd: fair enough. thank you, jay. you wanted to respond? if you can come to the mic. >> thanks very much. i just have a couple of very small req
