[applause] [applause] >> i want to remind members of the public that we have rules of order in this chamber. we want to do this officially and have public comment. there are times in the agenda for this and time for public comment by anyone who wishes to speak. there is a rule that states that in times and are not public comment, that individuals from the audience may not express support or opposition to any statements that are made here. we need this in order to conduct the meeting. with dignity and civility and respect to the public. the next question will be asked by our colleague from district 6, jane kim. >> first, mr. mayor, let me thank you for keeping this time, and having your staff work with our office, and i want to knowledge that many members and participants that are here today as well, share your response. and also speak of public comment. thank you for being here. please describe the plan that our offices have been talking about given the projected long- term nature of this protest. how can the city including the -- the department of public health and recreation and caught --

undoubtedly the case that members of the public do sometimes object to seeing members of this house using their phones or their ipods while here in the chamber, and mr. chair, i'm sure they would testify to that fact. >> [inaudible] >> of course. >> thank you. i very much welcome the honorable lady's remarks. while it's true some members of public object, there's other members who like the fact that their mp's are actually on this communicating what they are actually doing, and we're reaching out that you would also not agree that this is a huge shift from paper and mail to how our constituents community kate with us. >> that's absolutely the argument i'm trying to make here this afternoon in the chamber, and that actually, i would say that although some members of the public have lack of tapings to the business of the house, and i would have said on occasion, that has proved to be true. i also, and i have to say excessive and obtrusive use of such devices should be deplored equally, i contest the excessive chapter and prize a conversation on the part of it that's deplored. and that actually, it's advanced members of the house -- [laughter]

chamber for the whole of the debate should be deselect it. i mean commentaries that level of misconception outside of the house. now the public is starting to notice as they look around the chamber that people are in fact doing something in the one or two ago. i saw several parties heads down. it's not whether they are able to multitask, not that they can't listen to what is being read. it's what the public thinks this what they are doing and they looked distracted from what is going on. so that is a reputational point, which the house has to consider. so i would merely say that i suspect the house is going to bow to the inevitable but this is progress. but i think we should just be aware of the direction in which we may be headed. and the care to revive debates will be likely to offer. the administration committee and its report suggested that we should try this out much more in committee first. and that is what i still believe. i still believe that when i was the chairman of ways and means of the panel we were rather opposed to the use of laptops. i think the tablet is a different thing. it is used effectively to do with no

chambers. i hope that we never make fun of our colleagues that have public policy degrees. it is good to be back and i wanted to and knowledge the upcoming wedding of one of our legislative aides in less than two weeks. i wanted to officially congratulate her on this occasion. i want to announce the opening of the studio on sixteenth street between mission and howard. it is the only filipino performance venue space here in the country. one that has long served the use of the south of market as well as the emerging artists. they finally opened in their original space. we want to welcome it back to district 6 and think the urban development solutions and community for working so hard in the last eight years to rebuild this state. we did not have our good friend who passed away a few weeks ago. he is a member of the united players and it isn't -- it is unfortunate he was not able to see the ribbon cutting with us. i will also be speaking as many of my colleagues have. our office has been getting tons of the males and phone calls in support of occupy sf. we have not gotten a si

policies that funnel wealth to the 1% and we demand our public policies should be based on the evidence of what works for the majority of people. >> the chamber has a very well publicized position of a six- point plan on job creation. >> i wouldn't believe anything that they say in there. >> reporter: the rally continued on peacefully as police made their presence clear but with no indication of the arrest or backlash we have seen at some occupations throughout the country. >> the police here have been very cooperative. >> reporter: meanwhile on a lonely lawn outside the capitol a san diego man is permitted for a demonstration of his own. >> occupy pennsylvania avenue. >> reporter: but right now he is a one-man show. >> it is his agenda is that we should have a representative government then i want to occupy everywhere. >> reporter: protestors say while there may be several differing groups with differing agendas. >> it is not our fault there are so many problems in this country. >> reporter: it only adds to the mission of bringing democracy to the streets and hopefully change the nation. in just about an hour the folks here at freedom plaza

merkley: my colleague was addressing the frustration that exists with the american public with this chamber for not doing its job. i must say on that point we are in complete agreement. i hear in every town hall, in every conversation with constituents the question of why is it that what we need -- what we need most in this nation are jobs, this chamber, the senate, is unable to hold a debate over a jobs bill? and just last week we had a debate not over the jobs bill, but whether to proceed to the jobs bill. and, unfortunately, it was defeated not because the majority didn't want to get to the bill, but because the minority opposed it and invoked a 60-vote hurdle, a hurdle that was never routinely used in this chamber in the past. the fear of debating a jobs bill in this chamber by my colleagues is irrational. american people want us to wrestle with creating jobs. have people not gone out and talked to their constituents? did they not know the unemployment rate in this nation? do they not hear from the fathers and the mothers who are worried about keeping shelter over their family? or worri

chamber of commerce. you each have three minutes. if there is any member of the public that would like to speak on this item, please come forward. >> good morning, supervisors. i will be very brief. we concur with the city's responses and the letter from the mayor and the city department stated august 15. i do not think there is a project in the city of the history -- in this city's history that has had more oversight. we appreciate the work of a civil grand jury, but we also appreciate the responses you have received today and urge you to sign on to this. supervisor campos: thank you. any other member of the public, please come forward. >> my name is douglas yep. i have lived in san francisco for 59 years. i would like to think the civil grand jury for their yearly reports. -- thank. i think they provide an independent analysis of what goes on in san francisco, and i think we should be encouraging organizations like this, and should give them proper credit. i feel they do not get the proper credit, especially from regular press in san francisco. secondly, i would like

with the department of elections just outside the board chambers and it will provide you with an affidavit and ballot. each member of the public shall have up to two minutes to speak on this issue. first speaker. >> good afternoon, board of supervisors. we, from the community, have built up a new agency called the film board member association. we have been having some really good -- the fillmore member association. we would like to have you come out and hear from the community about the cdb. we are in support of it but we don't know exactly what it means. is a community benefit or district benefit. a lot of the businesses and owners have came out and talked about the benefits of the community, but overall, the cleaning and safety of the whole community has not benefited. it might look nice on filmmore street, the businesses are not thriving, so i don't think the community overall has adapted to the cdb, but we're willing to come together as a community and see what we can do. we originally had day cac through the redevelopment -- we originally had a cac through the redevelopment agency. hopefully in the next come -- the next

our partners at the event authority and local chambers of commerce to understand ways that we can share information, not only in terms of seeking as many public postings of vendor opportunities as possible, but also developing preferred vendor list of vendors that are interested in participating in the city's work force plans or interested in participating in the local business programs. if we can tie those together and make those opportunities or make those programs -- or well-known to the people looking to spend the dollars, as well as put them forward as the best in francisco has to offer, that that will have about nine effect on what we're doing on a more direct spending opportunities. the last of the indirect tools would be marketing, and that is something we want to work with local businesses and local economic development organizations to see how we can use the attention and excitement of the america's cup to better market to businesses, get people out in the neighborhoods spending dollars to really enjoy and take a great experience about what san francisco is all about back with them when they leave after the experience. so in terms o

the open forum, when the public can address city leaders, there's a sea of empty seats around council member, nancy pile. we saw several council members walking out of chambers. even eating and drinking. showed videos to elected officials. and they were unapologetic about their behavior. even when it has nothing to do with city business. >> sometimes, it's as simple as my wife sending me a text message, wanting me to pick something up on the way home. >> reporter: we found him using his cell phone, during a recent ceremony honoring san jose residents. he says he was posting a picture of the ceremony. >> if i'm on my phone, it's regarding city business. >> reporter: and we heard other explanations, too. >> sometimes the meetings go on very long. and we have to get up and stretch our legs. get a drink of water or use the restroom. >> reporter: this professor isn't buying that excuse. >> that's not something that you should run for elected office. >> reporter: the city of san jose has a code of conduct for public meetings. the rules, no using cell phones or pagers while the meeting's in session. no food, drink or chewing gum. but a council member would like to

chamber for reason, so we can facilitate democracy. we want to be able to do this efficiently. higher appreciate your respect. thank you. >> i am a public servant, my name is robert benton. in 1999, when class stiegel went out, the economic forecast was so rosy that they thought we would pay off national that in 10 years. 9/11 came along that happens to be my birthday, and five years later, i began investigating for myself what had happened. all honest investigations come up with the fact that you consider building 7, this was an inside job between israel and the neocons. building seven was to get rid of the evidence of the savings-and- loan debacle. our economy has completely plummeted. these are egregious matters that need investigation and prosecution. our government woefully is in dereliction of its duty to do just that same thing. we are here to protest corruption between government and corporations. our cause is just. everyone knows it. the 99% is a misnomer. it is 99.99 repeating. that is who we are. the assault on our first amendment right is egregious. the city needs to stand down, let us speak, let us organize, you have been h

we will not take those risks the chamber of congress had a recent public and it is not getting better. they are asking their members -- they will ask more members next year? it is down 19% from last july. it is going in the wrong direction. you can make a fundamental change, the president could, if everybody is talking about it. i think we cannot shift the conversation. they are the job generators. it matters to them. that is what counts now. you have to work with them. they are the ones that we depend on. if it is taxes and regulation, let's do it now. i have been looking at regulatory reform in one business bill. october will be november and we have not done anything. >> i did agree with you on comrades of tax reform. but think about the following thing -- on comprehensive tax reform. but think about the following thing. if we do not do something now in the next 10 months, taxes will go up substantially and will go up for every business. in a situation like this, why you need to extend a temporary tax measures is because, if you do not, the economy will be weaker. they are not a sub

chamber of commerce and many elected officials. for some, and gas increase will be easier to accept if it is designated for other transportation purposes only. >> i think that is what the motoring public expects. that is what we should have appeared >> the o'malley administration supports raising the gas tax to create jobs and boost the economy. the administration claims a $1 billion investment would trade 30,000 new jobs. >> we are putting construction workers for the most part back to work. we are putting dollars in the pocket. >> they determined the state needs a hundred million dollars more each year in order to chip away at the backlog of projects. maryland would have the highest per gallon rate in the country if it goes up. it would force people with limited incomes to make difficult choices. >> i don't think it is a straight line saying we will create some new jobs. i think there are other impacts that need to be considered. >> top tax increase proponents say it will impact everyone from those who use mass transit to goods and it services including food it trucking. why not use some of those toll increases that are going into the fact to offset some of those projects? >> today

chamber of commerce. and so says labor. and so says the great majority of the public. so says the great majority of all economists both bearish and even though bullish. so tonight in the united states senate, there was a test vote on the senate's version of president obama's jobs bill. for the $175 billion and that everybody agrees on it, infrastructure investment. not a single republican senator voted for the bill. not one. charlestown bridge, how you doing, scott brown? almost every single democrat and therefore a majority of the senate voted to move this bill forward, but the republicans filibustered it. they are unanimously opposed. joining us now is john stanton, reporter for "the roll call" newspaper. thanks very much for your time tonight. it's nice to have you here. >> goods to be here. >> let's start with the exception to the rule. which democrats did not vote for this version of the jobs bill tonight? >> jim webb and ben nelson from nebraska did not vote for the bill. >> okay. david axelrod has been arguing in a memo to democrats really to everybody today tha

president, as the senator from arizona is at the back of the chamber i just want to say that i, too, this senator appreciates his long publicervice and his dedication to this country. mr. president, as one of the senators from a state that borders the gulf of mexico, naturally we have been quite concerned in the followup to the deep water horizon oil spill. you remember that was an oil spill that at first b.p. said, oh, it was only a thousand barrels a day and it wasn't until senator boxer, the chairman of the environment committee, and i were able to wrangle the actual streaming video from 5,000 feet below the surface and put it on my web site that the scientists could then calculate how much oil was coming out. it wasn't anywhere close to 1,000 barrels a day. in fact, tended up being 50,000 barrels of oil a day that was gushing into the gulf of mexico. and, as a result of that, total number of days, almost 5 million barrels of oil that had gushed into the gulf, we can expect some serious economic and environmental consequences, and particularly the consequences on the critters. now, mr. president, it is hard to go down to

it seems that hardly a day goes by in this chamber when the republican majority fails to create jobs, endangers public health and deep sixes the environment. today is no different. coal plants are usually accompanied by coal ash ponds and dry coal ash land fills and they're disproportionately located in impoverished areas. 2/3 of all of the ash ponds in the united states are located where household income is below the national medium. what that means is that poor people don't have a voice in what the majority is trying to do. we can't rely on a voluntary patchwork of state regulations which is what this bill would have us do. now in my own home state of maryland, we have a decent record of environmental regulations but i can't say that about our neighboring states. we need a national way to look at how we're contaminating or not our environment. the contamination of groundwater at the coal ash plant in maryland resulted in the single largest fine ever imposed by our state's department of the environment. a $57 million settlement for the homeowners and business. the problem is that money can't pay for

public's death. e.p.a. has become the symbol, the center of the debate over the role of the government. it's a sad commentary for this chamber that an industry that prefers to invest in the political process rather than in saving lives by reducing harmful emissions is in fact winning the debate. . in fact the coal consuming industries that have assaulted the e.p.a. were invited early on during the obama administration to sit down and draft a compliance option. the administration had hoped to craft a deal similar to the historic deal they made with the auto industry on fuel efficiency and tailpipe emissions. an article by carol davenport in the september 22 issue of "the national journal" referenced this meeting, but unlike the auto industry, the coal consuming industries refused to negotiate. instead, and let me quote from the article, they, in quotes, banded together with the republican party to strategize and the mid term elections offered the perfect battleground. they elected tea party candidates crusading against the role of big government. the u.s. chamber of commerce, tea parties like americans for prosperity and so-c

public employees' union groups joining the ranks and being there and giving a little bit more rigor to the discussion. what they're talking about, they're focused on organizations like the u.s. chamber of commerce, other traditional republican allies to try and rebut the tea party and be a counter-tea party movement. megyn: it's interesting because you see all this focus on the administration and the unemployment rate and so on, and then you have this hodgepodge group of people who go down to wall street and say we hate these big banks, we hate the millionaires, we hate stock traders and investment banker. and suddenly we hear top democratic officials telling us that this is about, you know, income disparity and a different theme, and now you have some suggesting, chris, is that what this is really about by is the seiu and others is trying to distract folks who are unhappy with democrats into believing there's this other movement in the country that they need to pay attention to and fuel lest we see a republican takeover in branches of government in the next election. >> reporter: well, better to get in front of it and lead it than be walked over by it. so what democrats are trying

one of the things that i think the chamber needs to do is a profile of the program. i do not know if there is sufficient publicityped potential. as i alluded to in my prepared remarks, three years ago, the rich just over 1200 -- there were just over 1200 v sayisas id in a program that has an allocation of 10,000. i think we will bump up to 4000 this year. the program is growing exponentially, but i think the potential of the program remains untapped, and i think the chamber could help in really sending the message out. >> i was very much involved in the development of the comprehensive immigration reform. we had tremendous bipartisan support in the senate'. what can we do in the business community to help dial down the rhetoric on this issue so that we can have a more rational conversation? there is a need for in a -- and need for education on immigration. what advice would you have gone even entering the conversation in a rational way? >> that is a very compelling and difficult question. i have commented in the context of discussing immigration the challenge of the rhetoric employed on this issue, the challenge
