>>supervisor scott weiner: we got a memorandum from chief white at the beginning of this hearing left here for us. i want to read you one of the sentence." " it should be noted the fire department does not have a mechanism at this time to keep data on these or progress of violations at this time "can you comment on that sentence? >> right. our oracle system was designed for us so when it was designed, those requirements weren't told to the designer and they weren't captured. we have a way to track referrals to us like the department of public health and police department, but we don't have a way to track when we send something to the building department. >>supervisor scott weiner: is there a thought to how to correct that? >> yes. with your hearing of today, that is in the works, i was going to have our it person come today, but he's bids -- busy. we have one for the entire department. if you can see in our office, we have one for transparency and we have one that is going to involve budget and it staff because there is only one person basically that can manipulate. >>supervisor scott

scott? >> what is the white house appraisal of how much influence putin has over the yanukovych government? >> there are some experts who are more well versed in the history here between president president yanukovych. the focal point of our policymaking is insuring that whoever the leader is of ukraine and regardless of what that person's relationship is with the president of russia that the government of the ukraine refix the will and aspirations of the ukrainian people. that will is not respected, there is a right for citizens to address their opposition and demonstrate their willingness to peaceably sit across the table and try to broker some political agreements without resorting to violence. that is the criteria we are looking for here. the question you're asking about the relationship between putin is an interesting one and not irrelevant, but it is not the focal point of our decision-making at this point. to governmentl is that refocus the will of ukrainian people, isn't putin a key part of making that happen, and wouldn't that mean a focus of your engagement of this crisis in gener

scott king lobbied congress armed with a petition signed by no less than 6 million people. they overcame the initial opposition from the white house and last minute effort by jessie help to derail it. but finally, 15 years after the assassination of dr. king, an official federal holiday was created to honor him. then it was up to the states to adopt it. some had already done so even before the federal law passed, but the pace accelerated once that federal law went into effect. one state after another putting on the books an official holiday in celebration of the civil rights hero. but not every state. a few cases, legislators balked at the idea of creating a new holiday. one of those places where it became a seriously contentious issue, seriously contentious battle was in arizona. in 1986, 3 years after that day in the rose garden, the democratic governor of arizona, bruce babbit, on his way out of office signed an executive order to make martin luther king day a holiday in his state. the very next year the republican who was elected to succeed babbit made it his first official act to rescind that executive order, call off m

over to a white house with a formal dinner with the president, but there's a major disagreement among them about the president's top priorities, including the affordable care act, republican scott walker, for example, doesn't like it. but the republican from vermont does. >> i don't think the measure of success in government is how much people are dependent on the government. i want people to no longer be dependent because we empower them to get good jobs, families supporting careers in thesector we do it in my state. >> because they don't like the president and they want to make a political point are hurting their constituents. >> recently the white house is pushing for a national minimum wage of $10.10. and some of the democratic senators here are behind them. >> we know in our state almost 60% of people earning minimum wage are women. nationally 12% of people earning a minimum wage are teenagers. we know that the vast majority of people earning the minimum wage are, in fact, trying to raise a family. >> but there are some republican who is just want to be left alone to decide what is best for their state. >> i think the basic message more freedom and more flexibility, whethe

scott walker had not had the same sort of round public dismissal of his own staff. i wonder what you make of christie's strategy this week which is declining the dinner invite to the white of bridgegate, although it continues to swirl in the ether. perhaps he should address some of these allegations more head-on. >> he can't win by addressing the allegations because much of what he said isn't very credible. it gets worse every day. every day i come home from work, i turn on our station, and i listen to some of the new revelations not from msnbc people, but new jersey reporters. the idea they wanted to keep this going for a month, how cruel is is that? wanted to keep it going for a month? the idea that the port authority police would tell motorists blame the mayor. it's stunning. it keeps getting worse and worse. it keeps becoming apparent there are so many christie employees involved in this it just isn't credible for him to say he knew nothing about it and had no role in it. >> to move off of walker and christie scandals for a moment. if you look broadly at the position of many republican governors in this country, it is more progressive or they are more bipartisan in
