>> your proposition 8 hurt. it hurt before it passed because the propaganda took a shift and the shift was to utilize this idea that children would be harmed, the institution of marriage would be harmed, heterosexual couples would no longer get married if you were to allow marriage equality. it was the propaganda that was filled with lies and misrepresentations of what our love represents that really lit the fire for us. before prop 8 passed, because we thought this cannot happen in california. but we saw that the tactics of t we saw the attack ads against us and prop 8 passed. it was really devastating. and we just stood up. i mean we stood up and said, this is enough. like we can't go door to door and lobby our neighbors for our rights any longer. we can't knock on the door and say please read the constitution because it applies to me as well. we had to stand up and say, the law is black and white. we are going to lean on the law. >> once a person comes out to themselves, to their friends, whatever, that arriv

we reviewed the statutory elements of the proposition as well as our own supervision guidelines in order to make recommendations to the court regarding their probation status. we provided recommendations on 888 cases to the district, public defender and private counsel. we employed 4 or 5 supervisors over a period of two weeks that went through each individual case file and of that 888, we found that 650 cases were ineligible for relief under prop 47. there were 103 cases that we were actually submitting recommendations for reduction and termination and another 135 cases that were recommended for reduction and remain on perform supervision. as i indicated, our recommendations for prop 47 fell into two categories, reducing the charge to a misdemeanor and terminate probation, and reducing the charge to a misdemeanor and continuing probation. we recommended that 103 charges be reduced and terminate probation and 135 charges were recommended for reduction while remaining on probation supervision. adult probation has a large variety of evidence-based services that we have shown to be effectiv

i do want to briefly touch upon what i think we can do with the savings from proposition 47. i completely agree with miss deberry, if money money could be funded to substantial abuse issues to help people with their relocative issues and mental health issues, what happens to these people when they are opposite probation when they are off parole, for example? we need to have services available to them. i know we have this city-wide case management program in san francisco with a forensics unit that provides significant mental health structured assistance and we have many people that need that assistance upon finishing probation or adult parole. and i can tell you, i work specifically in the parole court department and i can tell you right now one of the biggest problems we are facing in san francisco and the adult parole department is facing and they are trying their very best to address is what to do with registered section offenders who are on their case load and many of them are sex offenders because of misdemeanor exposure cases, not necessarily rape or battery. many of th

and the problem is political reform is not an exciting proposition. >> if they can't get anything done how do they reform? >> if congress is not going to do it, we've seen some action in the states, it has to be state by state because they control how the districts are written and drawn. it's got to happen there. the only way anything happens is there has to be some kind of popular momentum behind it. most people say they want political reform when asked. but nobody votes on political reform. that's why politicians -- if there was a pay off to campaigning on it, politicians would campaign on it. >> because the pay off really would be sort of they would get kicked out. >> yeah. so they, you know, the other guy would win. >> right. >> the other candidate would win. people aren't that motivated by those issues. they're principally motivated by other ones -- national security and the economy. >> since we're here to talk about media, so you have this, you know, polarization that's happening in washington. it's leading to gridlock. but do you think -- how much of that is fueled by media? you

we also have to thank the people for propositions 1 and 2. save water and save money, preparing for an uncertain future. these are measures that nearly every democrat and republican voted to put on the ballot and nearly 70% of voters ultimately approved. i'm proud to report as a result by the end of the year we'll be investing in long overdue water projects and saving $2.8 billion in the state's new protective rainy day fund. [applause] we're not stopping there. soon we'll make the last payment of the $15 billion of borrowing made to cover budget deficits dating back to 2002. [applause] we'll also repay a billion dollars borrowed from our schools and community colleges and another $533 million owed to local governments. california has made bold commitments to sustain our environment, help the neediest, and build for the future. we're leaders in renewable energy and efficiency. we've extended healthcare to millions. we're transforming our educational and criminal justice systems. we're building the nation's only high speed rail system. and we'

until proposition number three, which i don't want to spend a lot of time. this action is consistent but i will say that it is formally consistent when we establish the executive branch practices in immigration and policy and administrations going back then have done things as the sore and i will get to the questions and a minute, the congressional research service published the report in which it found no less than 20 such instances between 1976 and the beginning of the obama administration. and so let me focus on the one that was singled out and so it has implemented a family therapist program that authorized extended voluntary departure qualifications. that includes children of aliens that have been granted an this has been since 1990 and the bush 41 administration asked meaning that up to 1.5 million individuals have potential beneficiaries. work authorization 1.5 million individuals, which means as the sole distinction it seems to me the issue of political controversy and we can get back later to the question of political controversy for the exercise of

proposition k called for policy makers to develop initiatives to mitigate the effects of high rent and home prices as well as high commercial rents. lack of affordable business spaces and housing are hurting the small businesses and larger businesses from attracting the best workers in the region. prior to the passage of proposition k we started to work on neighborhood stabilization efforts with the mayor's office. we introduced interim controls for the central soma area plan where there is currently an area planning process under way. our interim controls prohibits the conversion of production and repairs basis until permanent zoning is complete. we introduced interim controls on second street to prohibit ground flow retail to activate retail frontage on emerging neighborhood corridor. this legislation is a continuation of the work that we started with the housing dashboard in 2012 with then supervisor christina olague. it requires the planning department to report the number of units at all stages of production process and at various affordability levels. this is required to be in st

here's my 2nd proposition. the administration's action is consistent with the governing constitutional understanding of the role of the executive branch and immigration policy specifically and hear the lead case handed down this two and a half years ago with the lead decision by justice kennedy in which chief justice robert or others joined. and to give you that decision, here are a few quotations from it. a principal a principal feature of the removal system is the discretion of the -- discretion exercised off of continue with the discretion of the immediate human concerns. unauthorized workers like to impose less danger than smugglers are those who commit a serious crime. and then the court went on to make an important. some discretionary decisions in this area involved policy choices that bear on this nation's international relations. the dynamic nature requires the executive branch to ensure enforcement policies are consistent with the station's foreign-policy with respect to those in the realities. okay. p

or is doing her some journalism, as they sometimes call vice, sort of a viewer beware proposition? >> i think it's changed. for example, if you look at our coverage of isis or ebola or ukraine or tahrir square, a lot of what we do is live streaming. everyone is saying something but we are just showing it to you in real time with no commentary. i think the day of the voice of god for an hour a night telling you what you are watching and what it means and what you think about it, is over, and i think that's good. gen y is the most sophisticated media cohort of all time, very smart and savvy. they can tune into something and watch it. that is why what we do we call it immersionism. you go in and you press record. the story involves. it is not like, a fire at city hall, give me two pictures. that whole era -- and it's funny, will you have the same standards -- you have to understand gen y grew up with weapons of mass distraction saddam hussein harboring al qaeda, even though that anyone with half a brain knew they were natural enemies. the irony now is, what is happening, we go into ir

really trying to understand and support a better understanding of the business case and the value proposition for palliative care from a finance perspective and promoting that across the board. interesting from our finance group that the recommendation was made to have an advisory board so we can implement these recommendations over the long hall that sat within the long-term coordinating council so we can make sure that these recommendations sat on a shelf and they are moving forward. around systems, we talked a lot about supporting across collaborating systems with the difference between disparities as many individuals who have different situations do not have palliative care and we want to across all areas of care to do a better job in providing that access and developing standards for care planning so everybody has the opportunity to communicate to health care providers as to what they want. around community engagement we saw what san francisco has a community with conversations around their treatment when they are ill and we can be leading the way in the state of california around wellne

it affirms the proposition that cultural authority as a matter of the museum's social responsibility may sometimes sit outside that institution in the hands of others not members of the priesthood in the temple on the hill. the museum. third, museums have learned in other closely associated propositions concerning knowledge, and who has the authority and standing to create and speak it. these she was not only those whose stories are told in museums, but also, who the storytellers are. knowledge and truth may sit in unexpected places. museums correctly and subtly in the past quarter-century have opened the windows and permitted inclusivity rather than exclusivity. bilateral is him rather than unilateralism. and outside in a bottom-up rather than inside out and top-down. all without an ounce of demolition of the quality of knowledge. the national museum of the native -- american indian took on authority. and often in the face of strong even strident criticism from those who felt it should be left where it always had been. safe within the walls of the museum. at the nmai a child of the

first five california first came to be in 1998 when the passage of the ballot initiative called proposition 10. the whole focus was to find an additional funding stream to focus on children and their families in the earliest years, 0 to 5 but without taking money from other programs or from education. prop 10 created a 50 cent per pack tobacco tax and other tobacco products are taxed as well to create what began as about a $700 million a year funding stream for the purpose of supporting and providing resources for education and outreach to parents and young children. and so since that time -- and we also prop 10 is also mandated to focus on smoking cessation. the good news is that we have succeeded in, you know, smoking cessation, but the bad news is -- not bad news but the revenues from prop 10 have declined so it began as a $700 million a year proposition and down to just under 500 million. >> do more with less. >> fewer people are smoking but you're absolutely right. we have to do more with less. >> we have a great campaign going on right now. i want to talk about brain search for very y

the shadow analysis requirement was enacted through sunlight ordinance, proposition k and codified in the planning code and addition to the actual ordinance there was a memo prepared in 1989 by the recreation and park department and the planning department which provides guidance how to evaluate shadow impacts on parks, both quantitatively and qualitatively. the proposed project 800 indiana street is located in the dog patch neighborhood at obviously 800 indiana street. it will include up to 338 new residential units and will be approximately 58 feet in height and this image shows the relationship of the proposed building to esprit park. as you can see it's kiltie corner from the park to the southwest. and these are the proposed building elevations showing the building envelope and the design. i know it's hard to see from where you're sitting for the proposed project. and just a brief description of esprit park. it is 1.83 acres located between 19th and 20th street in between minnesota and indiana streets and fairly densely planted around the perimeter with trees and open meadow in th

three years later proposition 8 passed banning same-sex marriage.in 2010 problem significance 8 was ruled unconstitutional as you may recall. in 2013 the supreme court upheld the decision making same-sex marriage legal again in california. then today, the supreme court agreed to decide the issue for the entire nation during this term. >> the protests on b.a.r.t. this morning could happen again at the montgomery and embark dare role stations. protesters banged spoons on subway pillars and blocked people from getting be and off the trains. we are joined outside the montgomeriry b.a.r.t. street station. lilian, these would become weekly protests? >> that is a possibility. while b.a.r.t. says it's prepared riders say they don't know what they're going to do. they banged their metal spoons and blocked train doors during the height of the morning rush hour protesters held up service at the montgomery powell and embarcadero stations. two people were arrested but overall, organizers say mission accomplished. >> we were able to disrupt business as usual. >>

>> it's, again a very difficult proposition proposition. surely, we have to do something and we are doing things to monitor as best we can their use of the internet and to counter their use of the internet and those -- those things, again, recent events demonstrate we clearly that we have to do that, it's part of the whole range of things. this is not a simple equation. fighting terrorism internationally is not a simple process and not one dimensional. there are all kinds of things you have to do. the first line of defense is intelligence, we have to try to stay ahead of them, knowing who they are, where they are and what they're planning to do and carry out operations against them both through law enforcement, militarily and diplomatically before they're able to strike. that's the key. >> when you talk about surveillance, we have heard reports about sites where there's -- >> it's a question of more a question of legality. there's no -- no restriction in the united states for people who want to go out in the woods and shoot at targets and d

the good news is that in november proposition d passed. and that granted former redevelopment employees city benefits and the majority of voters in san francisco supported that, so this is kind of representing a turning point in union management and relations, and it's given clarification to all of the uncertainty created by the state when they eliminated redevelopment so we're working with the city and county on a transition of employment for our members who want to continue to work on redevelopment projects but as employees of the city and not ocii employees. however, under prop d that transition must take place before march 1 and that means we need to have settlements with ocii and with the city and county of san francisco as soon as possible, the real deadlines here that are critical so the union anticipates u.s. commissioners do not want to be responsible for torpedoing the settlements and with ocii. right now some of the proposals on the table and made two years ago almost by a different team, from a different employer include some e
