>>supervisor scott weiner: great. seems to me whatever the violation might be and you go into system if it is a more unified system and you see they also had building code issues, health code issues and this and that. i don't know, i do think if you have folks that are repeatedly violating codes that it becomes a blatant disregard of the system and there should be a way of coming down a little stronger with some of these egregious repeat cross code violations. i think it would be helpful that you don't have to look at a bunch of different databases or make phone calls. >> definitely. right now it's manual. you are having to query a department but if you access at your finger tips, that would be helpful. i know that management is discussing having a management division which would be helpful but would have to be somewhat limited in scope to the housing and house ability issues and some of the functions of the planning department where we have such a wide array of enforcement matters to have that all rolled into one age

. >> thank you, scott sanchez for the planning department. i want to provide the overview of the planning code. zoning code, as such the code enforcement for the planning department located within the division i supervise the zoning and compliance division. within that we have a small code enforcement function that kristin hob is the manager of and many of you have worked with miss ha and worked with outstanding enforcement. code enforcement has a general violation which is a discrete section of our code enforcement work and general code enforcement which we deal with landscaping and signs and advertising and formula retail uses and we work with mayor's office of housing with those matters and illegal commercial units, toeb -- tobacco and paraphernalia, etc. afc 2008 we didn't have a robust mechanism to deal with enforcement matters. with 2013 we have a planning code which gives us strong tools to deal with this. since that we've been very successful in signs. half were found to be illegal and removed. if you look at the area of all the signs

>>supervisor scott weiner: thank you very much. finally we are going to hear briefly from adult protective services. thank you for coming today. >> good afternoon, my name is jill nielsen i'm the program director for adult protective services. it's located within the department of aging and we are part of the human services agency. i appreciate you squeezing me in. it's a very interesting topic and i know we've talked about a range of different issues. from the adult protective services side what we are seeing is a real increase in a number of cases that are involving what we are consider to be self neglect. adult protective services in addition to investigating an intervening of cases involving physical abuse, emotional abuse, financial abuse, we do intervene in self neglect situations and in fact about 50 percent of our cases involve self neglect. we receive about 500 reports every single month. we've only started tracking cases that are specifically hoarding and cluttering cases in the past 6 months what we are seeing is we have

>>supervisor scott weiner: how many of you plural, dbi how many cases a year? >> we referred two last year to the city attorney. >>supervisor scott weiner: out of how many violations did the department determine, how many of those total? >> complaints filed for last year were 202967. code of violations were 120, new cases shall cases for director was 1238. order of abatements issued were 298. you have to look at this last statement, cases closed were 1161. we were able to work with them to get compliance and close the cases. >>supervisor scott weiner: is referral to the city attorneys office last year do you think that is low or do you think there should be more? >> it's low, what we did is we doubled now the director sharing and code enforcement. during the budget cut we lost 1/3 of our staff. now we slowly got our staff back we doubled code enforcement and doubled the hearings to be heard and we issued more order of abate ments and working with the city attorney now. >>supervisor scott weiner: is two referrals to the city attorneys office lower in the past ye

scott: i agree. i think by the end of the year it might be bruised and bloodied but i think you're gonna see some positive returns. i do think though that the economy is not doing as well as alan and his cohorts think it's doing. we will see some other stimulus other than qe. qe will be unwound from the taper because it's a bad economic policy but not because the economy can handle it. alan: 10,700 is the level to keep an eye on in the dow. angie: topic number 2--"pop" corn. we've had a record level of snow this year so what will that mean for moisture and corn crops? scott: the play on corn is we're gonna need some kind of weather scare to get it off mat. there's been a lot of selling of at the money volatility and rightfully so. alan: so from 580 down to 420-- the corn market has gone straight down. could this cause a bounce with this concern if it's too wet in the springtime? scott: maybe to 440--and if you do get that bounce all the farmers that did not sell a thing this fall will let you have as

that suggests scott walker participated on the private e-mail himself. and then there's this after a walker staffer quit. walker himself e-mailed, we cannot afford another story like this one, adding that means no laptops. he would be referring to the private laptops that staffers had been using to conduct political business on the taxpayer dime. the new documents also show that walker asked for a daily conference call that included campaign staffers and his aides on the same call. remember, this is just the tip of the iceberg, since reporters have just begun to sort through 28,000 documents that were only released today. here's the other really important thing here. there's more than one john doe investigation, and while the first is now closed, state prosecutors in the new investigation are believed to be looking into whether walker's successful 2012 recall campaign illegally coordinated with independent conservative groups, while one shoe dropped today, another one may be dangling just above scott walker's head. joining me now is ruth coniff. you spen

>> well, scott, we haven't seen any looting at all. in fact, the protestors have worked really hard to keep independent square clean and organized throughout three months of demonstrations. it could be connected to their hunger for european standards of law and order. many of prot testers say they want a better court system, a better legal system. and tighter controls on government. >> pelley: and they're standing up for that with their own example. thank you very much, holly. >> today is the war in afghanistan winds down, defense secretary chuck hagel outlined his plan for shrink the u.s. army it if congress goes along, the number of active duty soldiers will drop from the current 520,000 to fewer than 450,000. and that would be the fewest since just before the u.s. entered world world war ii. something else that is dropping tonight is the temperature in the northern half of the u.s. another deep freeze is settling in. detroit could hit 12 degrees overnight. 6 did agrees in madison, wisconsin, 3 below in minneapolis where we find jami

>> scott, thanks. talking to sarah we've been able to figure out how much the business inventories and retail sales data changed, outlook on growth in the united states and it's a pretty significant mark down. q4 and q1 gdp marked down each by 0.3% according to survey work done by cnbc with help from moodies.com. q4 gdp tracking 2 na1/2%. the big upside was 2.3%. that's been marked down including today's 0.3%. the first quarter now tracking at 2.4%. so we're right around where we were previously. we surveyed seven economists on this and they're tracking survey, scott, including goldman, deutsche bank, moody's, as well as morgan stanley participating. more of an ongoing basis. >> the idea i raised a moment ago with sarah and the panel of this pent up demand. if everybody wants to blame the weather now and perhaps rightly so, undeniably so, is there a chance, a likely said of this pent up demand on the other 150id that helps the economy down the road? >> almost certainly. it's hard to look at this retail

well, it's a bad day for wisconsin republican governor scott walker. all of the country right now, investigative reporters are pouring over 28,000 newly released documents related to a criminal investigation of a former walker aide. these documents have the potential to do real damage to the wisconsin governor who's up for re-election this year, we have a reporter joining us to talk about what we know so far. scott walker's bad day comes on the heels of what had been a string of very good days for a man who's widely believed to be eyeing a run for the gop presidential nomination in 2016. scott walker is the one person with the most to gain from the scandals engulfing chris christie, who until recently was a front-runner for the gop nomination. you see, like chris christie, walker is beloved by big money donors who applaud his willingness to go after unions, and like chris christie, he has run successfully in a blue state, even surviving a recall election. in fact, if you're one of those 1%ers who wants to use your fortune to influence politics and you'

>>supervisor scott weiner: i think that's a major gap. any department where you get a complaint, there should be a central base to get information. one more question. that is when you do get a complaint come in and you think there might be a health department issue or fire department issue or whatever it might be or planning, and you send the communication to them to alert them, how, is there any way for you to know whether they received it, reviewed it or followed up so that you know you may have concerns of the housing inspector but you know the other departments are doing what they need to do? >> one of the things that are interesting about the major code enforcement code, the health, fire and building and housing code, planning code as well but it's dealing more with land use issues. the code that i just mentioned they were developed and meant to operate individually and separately. so there does need to be a synthesis there especially in the abatement process which i will get towards the end. the way i communicate to find that out is
