and commissioners, i am staffing this item and i'm anmarie rodgers from the planning commission and i will present this ordinance to you. and this ordinance was introduced by as a targeted piece of legislation which would require active ground floor commercial uses on fillmore street and between bush and mcal allister and i believe we will have a speaker shortly to describe the impetus for the particular ordinance. while we're waiting for him, i'm describe the ordinance previously. and the ordinance would amend the active use section of the planning code which was many active uses and requires in certain areas of the city. if approved, this ordinance would acquire the uses on fillmore street between bush and mcallister. and this does exclude and therefore would prohibit other uses on this list. and including office uses, and that individual uses 25 feet into the building. if there were uses of larger than that, it need to be wrapped along the frontage so the uses were in front of it along the sidewalk. commissioners, in reviewing this particular ordinance, the department recommends ap

rodgers to come up, in case we have questions. the developer raised some concerns. could you walk us through the process they would have to go through for the special use district and changes to address their concerns? >> yes, we could. maybe if i could just back up a little bit. when the commission heard the neighbors say that they wanted the controls extended in this area, the president of the commission and our director met with a good number of people. easily over half a dozen to a dozen representatives. at that time, we scripted out what we could do and how much time it would take. it was clear that the residents wanted something that would go forward quickly. it was clear that our department has spent literally millions of dollars on a 10-year effort, and we did not have an additional resources for another community- planning process in this area. with those demands and limitations in mind, the ordinance before you was crafted to apply as many controls as possible without triggering possibly a time-consuming environmental review. what happens is you have many

. -- labs is over and communication rodgers communication is unchanged. you still like this trio? >> we still like the trio especially for dividend investors. the dividend story hasn't quite come around as quickly as i thought it would, but i still think in terms of sweet spots in the market, large dividend pairs look pretty attractive. >> tom: ownership positions for all six of these. >> yes, we do and i also personally own them as well. >> tom: chuck carlson ceo at horizon investment. going >> susie: a reminder-- the tax filing deadline is getting close. taxes are due back at the irs in just three weeks. and we're here to help. you can submit your tax questions on our website for tax guru kevin mccormally. just go to nbr on pbs.org. and kevin will join us for a week of last minute tax tips starting april 11. >> tom: and finally, imagine opening your cable bill and finding out that you owe $16 million. it happened to one ohio man. his monthly check to time warner is usually $80, so he was pretty surprised. he didn't think that watching the ncaa sweet 16 tournament would cost him

if it were not for mary rodgers, what you see in this community -- yes, we talk about the out- migration of african americans, i would like to remind the redevelopment agency -- since i have the microphone -- that it took a lot of money and an entire agency to the black people out of here. i would like to say to the agency and city officials, it will take an agency and money to keep african-americans and get some back in here. this is america and you cannot do it for free. that is what mary would tell you. she would give you her favorite line right now. she would say -- let's make sure that we do not have different strokes for different folks. anyone remember that? let's make sure that everybody is treated fairly. to treat those -- you have got to give them more than you have given the other folks or they will never catch up. that is just the reality of life. that is just the reality of running the race we are in called life. we are excited. we want is not to be the end of the last project in the western addition. it may be the last thing that the redevelopment agency pays for, but it is

rodgers from planning. >> good afternoon, supervisors.e of legislation is a little bit different than the last one. whereas the last one was a specific, targeted piece of legislation, the piece of legislation before you now is broader and bolder and raises the bar for design in the city. the proposed ordinance is amended or repealed in 28 separate portions of the planning code, and each is described in the materials before you. we went over this in some detail at the planning commission hearing. i will give you an overview now. i would summarize the proposal as helping to regulate the ball standards in building codes in the city by counting parking towards f.a.r. limits. it also works to limit the appearance and dominance of garages. it would require that new large parking facilities be constructed in a way to be more easily converted in the future. establishes ground floor controls in industrial districts, which we did not have previously. it removes parking minimum requirements. it allows for the zoning administrator to reduce parking r

spending cuts was good enough for house republicans earlier this year when hal rogers released -- rodgers released his earlier proposal. house republicans were forced to double their spending cuts to an extreme level of $61 billion. when that happened, even hal rodgers said the house was moving beyond what was reasonable and into territory where they could never get a deal. tom latham of iowa agreed that in forcing h.r. 1 to go from from $30 billion to $60 billion in cuts, the tea party was forcing republicans to go beyond what was -- quote -- "enact "enactable." these are conservative republicans saying that the present house proposal is not enactable, cannot pass. just as the tea party forced mainstream republicans into extreme territory before, they are doing it again, and anyone who looks at this objectively sees that's what's happening. the speaker has said all along he wants to avoid a shutdown at all costs, and, madam president, i believe him. he's a good man. the problem is a large percentage of those in his party don't feel the same way. they think compromise is a dirty word. the

rodgers. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i'll thank the witnesses and, general, in particular i want to again state i don't think any of us on this committee can often enough tell you how much we appreciate your service and the sacrifice you and your family are making. the nation owes you a great debt of gratitude. you touched on this subject in your opening statement, but i wanted to be more specific. one of the commands you have is the joint urgent operational needs which is for persistent surveillance systems which provide actionable intel to decision makers to counter ieds and protect convoy ises. do you have enough of these systems, and if not, how many do you need? >> we do not have enough. there is an urgent operational needs statement in, in fact, a joint operational needs statement, and i'll get that to you for the record what the specifics of, by each different category of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance system. i will tell you that the secretary of defense has done an incredible job -- first when i w

tomorrow i will be co-hosting a briefing with congresswoman kathy mcmorris rodgers, herself the parent of a special need child, who discuss the heartbreaking issue. we'll be joined by lauren potter, an actress on the hit show "glee" who has down syndrome and who will share her personal stories as well. we will be highlighting a report by ability did the past.org, best buddies, and special olympics, this report shines a bright light on this epidemic. here in congress it seems there are as many reports as minutes in the day, but too often they end up collecting dust instead of inspiring action. in this case we cannot allow that to happen. bullying and harassment sponsors a climate of fear and disrespect that can seriously impair the physical and sige logical health of its victims and create conditions that negatively affect their learning. for special needs children who already face tremendous challenges, adding this extra burden is simply unacceptable. those with special needs are more likely to be targets, either because their differences singled them out in the classroom or because th

spending, what we said under both speaker boehner and the chairman of the appropriations committee, hall rodgers, is we've got to stop the bleeding -- hal rogers, is we've got to stop the bleeding and cut spending. we brought a bill to the floor to allow to $100 billion, billion with a b, real cuts to spending at the federal level to finally start that process. and by no means is this the finished product but it was the first start of the process of finally getting spending under control. so that bill came to the floor, we had a lot of debate, open process, any member could bring an amendment to that bill. i brought an amendment to get rid of a bunch of these czars, these czars killing jobs in our country that are getting paid millions to go out and try to implement radical policies that run jobs to china and india and other places, and that amendment passed. a lot of good amendments passed to cut spending but ultimately what we said was we set a new tone. we're number one and will put our money where our mouth is. we promise if we get the reins of power in the house we will start cutting spendi
