my name's annie, and i'm a member of seiu 2021 and a city worker for -- i'm disappointed the city took so long to notice this problem which have exist since 2007, and i have been sacrificed because as a city employee, i have been doing -- give taxes since 2007 and at that time my minor son that was in high school, second year into a private high school because of this crisis that the banks created, now i have to give back to the city, i have no choice but to pull my son out from a private school because he's achieved scholarship was cut due to -- in order deficit. so at least if we're doing something i'm really wishing and hoamg that san francisco will take ownership and leadership of this project, and be the leader to -- up with other counties. so hopefully we'll get down to this and find out how much was due back to the city. because i'm tired of the continuing to pay back as i have nothing to give back to the city anymore. and also, want to know that the bank not double dipping. they have been triple dipping us. first is the interest from the loan, the swap. secondly as the foreclos

action for health and environmental justice, north mission neighbors, telegraph hill dwellers, and seiu, [speaker not understood] valley improvement association. that gives you some idea of the breadth of the people that worked with supervisor kim in crafting this legislation and i urge you to move it forward. i would like to also support the idea of -- on some items it would be great if we could have more than 30 days. again, when you're working as you all know having another life, it's very difficult to fit in something very quickly. we want to make sure that projects get reviewed by the community. and we've seen that that review by the community and input from supervisors can make them a lot better. planning certainly deserves more resources as it's needed. we look forward to that process of making sure getting the right mix there. more development is coming, at least it's being told we're going to have it whether we like it or not. hopefully we'll be able to work with the bay area council on that matter. but i urge you to move supervisor kim's legislation forward so that we can get

that's protecting, i guess you could say, low-skilled american workers but you also have groups like seiu and teamsters, part of afl, a lot of labor involved in the conversation. construction labor is very concerned, there's a high unemployment of american workers in construction at the moment but we have to look forward so if our housing market starts to boom again, where are those people to fill those jobs once the americans have also gone back to work and i think there is tension there amongst employers, where our economy might be 10 to 15 years from now. ofst: newsmakers at the top the hour is with afl-cio richard trumka, he sat down with us earlier this week before aere was an announcement of reported deal. we have no details on whether or not the gang of eight, all eight of them agree to whatever labor leaders and business leaders have come up with but in that interview, mr. trumka talks about wages for low- skilled workers and he said business leaders wanted 25% minimum wage and not what minimum wage that we know. can you explain what he's talking about? host: a little bit. i'm not

please welcome the president of seiu 230. spanish] >> the time is now. the time is -- the time is -- the time is -- the time is -- it is mynd sisters, order for the next segment of our program to introduce to you a group of speakers. they do not only talk about immigration reform. they live it every day. they represent millions of workers throughout our country. they are united here today to say that the labor movement stance with those who seek immigration reform now the. we work -- seek immigration reform. we work hard to make it happen. these leaders joined together when we needed to fight for health care reform. these leaders joined together during the years of the civil rights movement to bring justice to millions of people in our country. worked hard for equality between men and women so that they could receive the same pay. with you tos stand say everybody in america deserves the same rights. we want immigration reform now. [cheers and applause] speaking spanish] ahora.a reforma ahora. [speaking spanish] [speaking spanish] brothers and sisters, we

care cost control as opposed to cutting benefits, and i'm speaking briefly today on behalf of both seiu local 10 21 and the public employees committee. and i guess really what we wanted to say and just to try and broaden the perspective and acknowledge some of the comments that relate to that broader perspective, you know, 4.4, 4.3 billion is obviously a big number and as many have said, the thing that is most going to determine if that number goes up or down is the rate of medical inflation which a we -- almost all of us know is far surpassed the rate of general inflation economy and also workers wages. and, so, that's going to be the key issue here. so, from the standpoint of defining the problem, we must ask what's driving this medical inflation rate so high. and on that there's not a lot of dispute. experts widely agree that, first of all, health care spending is so high because provider prices are high. just a reality in this country, we have to address it, those market it disfunctions contribute tog that. second, unsafe and ineffective services according to the institute of medici

are here today, the sierra club, the coalition for san francisco neighborhoods, unite here local 2, seiu local 10 to 1, san francisco beautiful, take back our parks and the advisory council from u.c. hastings community economic development clinic. i also want to say a particular thanks to our city attorney elaine warren. she has not only been working furiously on our c-e-q-a legislation that we're preventing today, but also supervisor wiener and on top of that president chiu's amendments. so, we have been keeping her very, very busy. along with our planning department staff, ann marie rodgers, and our ero sarah jones. we believe this legislation offers a balanced approach to c-e-q-a reform that focuses largely on improving public notification and maintaining a robust input in the environmental review process. we do establish the much needed deadlines for the appeals of cad ex and negative declarationses, but we also realize if we're going to put deadlines in place, that we need to have an easily understandable process in order to file the appeals. we believe that increasing triggers for

it's hosted by a whole bunch of different folks from naacp to seiu.inues to apply the pressure necessary to move this bill along. it's not just the 71% of latinos that voted for the president that support this. they have a full coalition, a rainbow coalition. i'm really hopeful to see this. >> professor dyson, these are people who want to be legal taxpayers. they want to contribute to the citizenry of this great republic. they're not there to get -- sponge off the country and be takers. these are people who want to contribute, aren't they? >> absolutely. let's leave all that to the notorious aig to sponge off of the economy. of the hard working americans out here. and, listen, martin, they're already making a contribution. >> of course. >> to the till. right? we understand that. i know you understand that. but i want to underscore that. they're already making an enormous financial contribution to this country. the intellectual prowess they bring. physical brow eprowess they bring. diversification we all hunger for. out of many, one. what's disturbing

but it's not just an audience of 100 something people in seiu who have to be reached. it's the grassroots the politicians who are being pushed in the other direction and that has begun in academia, campuses, churches, and unions, and a bunch of places where the discourse has changed in many respect but has not yet percolated up to the political level where we live in an unreality zone. unfarm. and before you can get that i think you have top get to the grassroots. >> lady in the second row? >> wait for the microphone. >> i'm glad you mentioned hack -- academia. now that i've been here two years, i'm worried that on campuses they're not changing so much. there's a lot more interest in the arab world but there's less willingness, at least from my vantage point or what i hear or see to reflect on american foreign policy. what do we do about that? >> yeah. okay. >> gentleman in the second row. >> from jaffa. i'm away from my country 65 years. i have just a little question. >> make it one. >> i can't make it -- just a small one. the united states gave sadat $76 million. gav
