is he the right person to run city? what do you think? >> i think he is. during an analyst call, mr. o'neill said they had a process to select a new c.e.o., and this fellow is quite solid. i never met him, but he has great credentials. and i'm glad they have picked someone inside who is an operator. it has been more than 20 years, since we had a real operator, a banker, to run citi. >> sandy wild, the former chairman and builder, architect of citi, also gave an endorsement of the new c.e.o. today, calling him a great manager, a good leader, and you also know that sandy wild recently said that it is time to split up the big banks, that they've gotten just too big. do you think there will be a change in the strategic plan? >> no, i don't think so. it is somewhat gratuitous for mr. wild on picking an excellent candidate because he didn't do that. both chuck prince and bicram pandit are holders. he has experience restructuring the bank, and i think it is a really positive development. >> on that conference call that we just reported by the citi's chairman, mic

but you also expect a functioning city that buses run on time, potholes get paved, and city programseld accountable nor how they spend our money. i'll be your common sense supervisor. the reality is we need to raise revenue and cut spending. we can't pretend we're immune to what's happening 100 miles away in stockton which is going bankrupt on pensions. we have to face the reality of basic arithmetic. i'm not against taxes, but just have to be spent smartly and with accountability. we need to audit programs and pay for only what works. we can't just keep going back to homeowners with bonds and parcel taxes and use them as the city's atm. we have to champion entrepreneurs. that means if someone has a good idea, city hall should help make it happen, not delay it with bureaucratic roadblocks. we need a one-stop shop at city hall that makes it easy to start and grow small business. a dynamic local economy depends on small business. we can't live on facebook alone. i'm a small business owner and i know why it's important to streamline the process at city hall. i have also held government

i have to run city government. >> for his part sheriff mirkarimi would like to move past what has to be the rockiest start in the history of the san francisco sheriff's kecht. >> i do believe san francisco needs to elevate response to eradicating domestic violence and violence of all kinds. >> the sheriff said woe like to be part of the solution. how much of a part will depend on how well he can mend fences here at city hall. >>> a computer belonging to a union city on trial for a murder of a understanding student shows she spent time searching for ways to harm someone. today an expert with the fbi testified that when examining the computer she found hundreds of searches for michelle li's name and ways of inducing a heart attack without leaving a trace and how to follow someone without being caught. her attorney says the client snapped and did not plan to kill li last may. >> a husband and wife expected in the murder of a retired schoolteacher will find out if they're going to be exindicted to california or face charges in seattle first them were arrested last week after a chase. aut

today nfl will announce which cities are in the running. if san francisco is one of them, it will host a plan on may 7th of next year. two weeks later the city will make a presentation to the 32 nfl owners. just to give you an idea, hosting a super bowl is expensive, about $25 million. san francisco wants to be part of the 50th and electricity reand say they can handle that type of celebration. the game would happen here in santa clara. alyssa harrington, cbs 5. >>> fans have their fingers crossed after a disappointing lass at at&t park last night. fans are hoping to get the home field advantage today. >> reporter: this is not discouraging giants fans. some say they will be back no matter the price. >> can't get any further away than this. >> doesn't matter to me, i'm a real giants fan. >> how much for these seats? >> $103. >> for the worst seat in the house? >> ain't the worst seat to me. >> reporter: the mayor of the losing city agreed to clang tear twitter profile picture to the logo of the winning team an send food and drinks for the win

city. and again, all run by volunteers. them that our individual lots and individuals will grow in them and there are lots that are shared responsibilities and shared neighborhood responsibilities to grow crops and to grow agriculture there for not only eating purposes or flowers or any of the things that individuals wish to have. and they are happening in our golden gate park as well as in our neighborhood parks. we're excited that you hopefully, you can see those as well. those are three small examples of hopefully things that you can visit while you are here. i understand you are going through my home time, seattle next year -- my home town. seattle next. i was born and raised there. and of course, if that is not enough for you to do while you are here, you should talk to mohammed about getting tickets to the giants, the 49ers, or outside because that is -- outside plans because that is happening this weekend. that is the fun we have in our great city. we are a large city. i get to talk and write about the things we're d

for knowing that he basically started a hedge fund and then sold it to citi and then ended up running city and i don't even know why anyone would buy a hedge fund in the first place doesn't really seem to make much sense to me anyway but you know it wouldn't surprise me though that story would be true just because what you see is this incestuous relationship and this is global it's not just in the united states i think it's in china i think it's in every major economy where the elite or of the oligarchy last and in the west it's mostly the banks there's all are are doing are committing their crimes with the permission of the government and they sort of agree with each other that hey i'm not going to tell on you if you don't tell me so congress insider trades congress chiefs congress doesn't pay taxes and no one says it and the same time the bankers c.e.o. and get bailed out and gets your percent loans to speculate and no one says anything and. so yeah i mean these agreements i mean are it's implicit or explicit it's becoming more explicit now yes a criminal class i mean it's a it's a small

cities to drop dead? >> it does not appear that either governor romney or representative ryan have any understanding of what it really takes to runity in the united states of america, and quite frankly regardless of whether or not that mayor happens to be a democrat republican or independent. cities are the incubators of innovation. they are responsible for about 90% of the gross domestic product of the united states of america. and either of these guys have any idea what it takes to run a city, and in many instances have any idea what they are talking about. >> jennifer: i feel like in some ways cities end up being scapegoated or code language the urban poor the new welfare queens. do you have a sense of that? >> it's clear to me that mitt romney and paul ryan seek to actually create as much divisiveness in this election season as possible. constantly pitting one group against the other, playing people off on each other. that's what the whole 47% discussion that mitt romney was talking about. he was with obviously people he was comfortable with. he was talking the way he probably talks more in private anyway, and has written off

i am running for supervisor to keep san francisco real. our city is a social, economic and political cross roads. in so many ways, the every-day people that keep this city special, the artists, the students, the young families, the seniors on fixed income, working people and every day people of all strides are having a harder and harder time surviving much less thriving in our city. one of the reasons is that our economic development policies are currently much too focused on the big business interest. we need to reorient our city's development policies to focus on the 80 percent of the economy which is our small businesses or mom and pop shops. san francisco needs to develop more affordable housing. the association of bay government says that they need 18,000 new units of housing and we are nowhere close to that. prop c, something that i encourage you to vote for, but let's go back to the ballot in the years to come and pass an affordable housing bond something that san francisco has not done in close to two decades. we need to improve our public

. >> a gunman brought the man who is running for city council. just left a anti-crime meeting and as he got out of his car he turned and saw a man pointing a gun at him. >> obviously he was pointing a gun at me all the time and i felt that my i feel even more strongly about it than what i did before. when you are the actual victim of a crime you do want to be thankful that you were not hurt but now you understand how a victim feels. we are way understaffed and our police department. they need to be out patrolling and they need to respond to calls quickly. >> in after a public out cry at local boy scout has all of them area backing him up. the boy scouts of america- and after 12 years of being a boy scout ryan gets kicked out because he is gay. he is being denied the eagle award. today along with his mother father and other supporters they deliver boxes from people with their signatures of his support. >> my son ryan is my hero and he is incredibly smart and he's my hero. to me he is perfect. >> i think it's really nice that my parents look up to

i'm running in san francisco as supervisor to fix some of the city's most pressing problems. i am very interested in fixing education. i was elected twice by the voters to the community college board where i have been dealing with tough issues, such as corruption, severe budget deficits and mismanagement. i have been able to make tremendous progress on all of these to fix the problems. now we need to return our attention to the city's schools. the city is not doing enough to help the district. we have a, shrinking cool year while the classes are increasing in size. >> i want to address the affordable, the city fees are going up and up and up and small businesses are priced out of the city and i need to work on that. i also am a sierra club activist. for 15 years working in the green energy field, i am a transit activist as well as well as working on parks. so in the environment i need to tell everyone, that muni is a priority, without muni the city will come to a stand still and it is not working properly right now. other cities can do transit systems even with snow and terri

he is run to city -- he is running for city council in oakland and he was going home from a meeting addressing crime issues in the city. he was on his cell phone shortly after nine last night. he said he felt something poke him in the back and turned to see a man pointing a gun at him. >> i hear crime, crime, crime in almost every part of the district. you know it's -- now i feel it firsthand. >> reporter: he said that the man demanded his wallet. later his neighbors called to tell him that his car doors were left open and he found his car had been ransacked and his phone was also gone. now he described the incident as ironic since he is running on an anti crime platform. >> 21-year-old is in jail charged with a terrorist plot to blow up the federal reserve building in new york. the fbi said that the man came to the united states in january on a student visa. he told undercover agents he wanted to destroy america by going after the country's financial institutions. there are also reports that he discussed wanting to target the president. >> he gets the student visa underred pretext of being a

city property. but they have an agenda when it comes to ross mirkarimi. he's a beater of women. he's a liar. he's a criminal. i say the real criminals are running happening in san francisco. and that's why there's a?zíáwp &c"p% vendetta against him. i'm not a democratic. i didn'trc vote for ross mirkarimi. but he has a right, a democratic right to have a hearing and have justice. and you have created a backlash of peoplecp&d who are against privatization who are against outsourcing, who are against turning this@dut)uv to the bankers and the billionaires. thankq%Ñ you. >> president chiu: next speaker. >> good evening. chrisi keefer. i attended the ethics commission hearing on ross mirkarimi's the four commissioners that supported the mayor's position not oneh6 represent to you their findings i think it's because they could not articulate their position which shows the murky slippery%2f slope they were on because this is politically motivated set in position leaving behind a gentrified beautified playground for thezpy7 rich. let's talk about official misconduct, the arm grab of ross mirkarimi or grab by the blue angels. whose city is this. for so
