we love small businesses. there is a lot of, you know, i don't know, i have been getting that i am so glad you are here, but then i also get the flip side with the merchants association getting messages about these merchants aren't doing this. they are too loud and there is trash everywhere. you get this like, i don't know, to your face everybody loves having you there. on the back end you get a lot of push back about you doing business because with the trash situation we literally, i think our merchants do a good job of keeping things contained. we are a windy city. we have people who enjoy knocking offer a trash can or 10, you know, there are factors here that to me i would like to kind of see some, i would like to see numbers and data in terms of how much a healthy vital or vibrant small business corridor can really impact the community, and i want to be able to say to people, look, we do these things for the community. we have been doing, you know, x, y, z, we are creating a huge benefit for our communitie

how can the small business commission help you and the small business advisory forum? how can we make this grow? is there anything we can bring to the table or contribute here? >> yeah, there's a couple of ways. one, if you feel there are individuals that should be on this advisory, i really well come your suggestion on what should participate. we have a really good group of individuals now, but as you know, sometimes people will move on, and there will be vacancy. and secondly, i think it's important that we're looping you in, letting you know what we're working on. and then, the two-way is to have this commission share what your concerns are in regards to safety and crime prevention and let us work on something together so we can come up with new and innovative ideas to deal with some of the issues that come up in our city. i think this is something new in the police department that we're kicked off. >> president adams: commissioner dooley? >> commissioner dooley: yeah. thank you for coming and presenting. i think it's a great idea. you've got a good group working an

it's truly small. usually cultural centric and some high end restaurants, this will not affect them. i want to keep that in mind. the equity lens -- we have to shout it out. that's who really gets affected and who has the least voice. >> people trying to start their first business. >> like one of us latinos that's one of the biggest businesses we open is a restaurant. >> commissioner dooley: i was pretty much going to say the same. i'm seeing that all over the place now where the restaurants are not open to be sit down and serve. they just have a counter and it's takeout only or uber eats. it really does cut down on the ambience or atmosphere of that neighborhood to see closed doors and no one inside. you think, are they not very good restaurant. you don't know that. you'll see there are no customers inside. it's not a good thing for the neighborhood corridor. >> what we have to balance is the public certainly wants food delivered to them. we all had food delivered to us. there's a place for these serv

that is a small business commission. we are here to protect small businesses. i think at a minimum a small business should have some agency over who they are and who they do business with. i know that i, as a small business operator, everybody here operating small businesses. we have all been there. not restaurants, not all of us, some of us. i recent when tech companies conscript me into becomes content generation, unpaid content generators for their businesses. i recent having to take moments of time when i have so very few to help them in their businesses succeed. i am, frankly, quite agreeable with the argument that these services -- i understand why they want it to be opt out. i don't actually have a chip on my shoulder about it. as i mentioned it is very competitive, but i think the right moment for government to step in with regulation is when an industry is unable to regulate itself because of competitive pressures, and it is creating more harm than good. i have yet to hear an argument the harm of bringing businesses in that didn't want any part of this

we're a small business as well. we've applied for state and federal funding, been successful in some cases, failed in others. we find ourselves helping our growers maybe 30% of the time use some funding mechanism to help integrate this type of technology where its swiim-based technology or otherwise, some level of technology. the other thing that we find as a barrier is the fact that these growers were told over and over just want to grow. they're not in a position where they want to fill out paperwork. they're not in a position where they want to wait. many of the programs, at least the ones that we're involved in, that are available, create a disincentive to pre-deploy these types of technologies. again, whether it's swiim or any other technology, whereby you can apply for funding. rural wants to get in on it now. if they do so, the funding package will not allow them to be reimbursed. so, they can't -- and i'm speaking specifically to equip. i'm sure there's others. we've had growers just say flat out i'm tired o

against other small towns. you see something similar happening a few years later, when a boston artist and entrepreneur comes to monson selling bird's eye views. i have been showing you vignettes from this. these were very popular. more than 2400 communities had bird's eye views made. local people would pay to have their business numbered on the image, and then listed at the legend on the bottom. you could share this lithograph. you could send it to customers or put it in your home or shop. this was advertising. and it was a way of announcing the significance of your place, your community. bangor had one. dover had a bird's eye view. 60 other maine places had bird's eye videos. -- views. if you had one, it was a way of announcing you were significant. who is creating them? mainly urban artists who travel through the countryside offering to sell them, collaborating with local business people who helped to fund them. monson worked with an outsider, a boston artist and entrepreneur, to produce locality. it was pay

while we face a myriad of challenges as small farmers and small business owners, we remain committed to a mission of feeding our community, improving our farm and food system, and remaining careful stewards of colorado's natural environment. technologies both high-tech and low-tech as well as grit and determination are helping us get there. thank you for the opportunity to testify. and i look forward to your questions. >> thank you, mr. meza. i know tomorrow is your distribution day. i especially appreciate you flying out to do this today. always good to see you at the stanley marketplace markets. dr. jackson-smith, you're recognized for five minutes. >> thank you. i want to begin by thanking the subcommittee for the opportunity to speak to this important issue. as your introduction pointed out, i'm a professor of water security at ohio state university. i spent my career studying both the drivers and implications of technological change for farmers, with a particular focus on small and mid-sized farms in rural communities. my comments today also reflect the contributions of a collea

giovanni perry: the abuse is a very small part of this program. stephen: uc davis professor giovanni perry chairs the economics department there. he acknowledges there are security vulnerabilities with the program, but he says and our data confirms that the number of students listed as working for suspicious companies make up a small fraction of the total f-1 students. and he points out there are many benefits for students, universities, and us companies. but even while touting its benefits, supporters of the f-1 program admit being troubled when we shared the list of 13 questionablepa rachel: because they're on a list does not mean that we doot it means that we might be actively looking at them right now. stephen: could this be a security risk to national security? rachel: anytime you have people in the united states that are doing something other than they've told us they're doing, there's always a risk. but that is why we look at the companies very carefully, that's why we do data analytics, and that's why we do investigations. mark warner: thi

i have had a small business in the richmond for a long time, a couple of small businesses. i have seen the community grow around spaces and around just making a physical space for people to gather. i feel like that is something we just need more of. as i watch restaurants struggle and places of business where people can physically come together and struggle, it is making me very concerned about our city. i understand that we are working really hard and sometimes at the end of the day we just want food in our own home and that is totally fair as well. i have been giving this whole thing so much thought, but i want to thank everybody for coming today and bringing up so many like concrete points that the commission can really take back and put together real recommendations around, and i also think you brought up so many things that were so good. like really meat i didn't thinks to talk about. i just want to encourage that hopefully i see that after owning a business for so many years that we are kind of in a really good spot with good conversations and nice collaborative work

there were still thousands of small towns across the united states. why this particular small town? the short answer is that i care personally much more about this particular small town than i do about those thousands of other small towns. there's nothing very special about monson, maine, from an academic point of view, which is actually helpful for studying broader developments in american rural life. this was not an unusual place, so it can open a window into changes in other similar small, rural places. but for me, there's a lot that's special about monson from a personal point of view, because this is the place where i spent the first 18 years of my life. this is my hometown. included in this 1889 lithograph, this birds eye view of monson are house where i grew up, the church on main street where my father pastored, the lake where i learned how to swim, not very well. i failed swim lessons. that's another story. the shop where my brothers and i bought penny candy, and the hills where i went camping with my parents, and where they now live. i know the mean streets of monson from

issues for small business owners.aged in this election cycle because if the election goes hard left progressive, all of their growth opportunities dry out. all their hiring opportunities dried up and they are left eating the scraps of whatever it gives them. kennedy: it's already hard enough with the push for $50 minimum wage across the country in various cities and states. and they bear the brunt of that. in the much harder for small businesses to stay in business, they also have a much harder time borrowing money. so what they want is less regulations they want lower taxes. >> and its ticket of regulation you don't think about it unless your small business owner and you are trying to do something simple like higher a person or make an investment. you want to buy some property want to develop a new piece of property. you meets those regulations, the environmental regulations which are often coming from a federal level. all the said you are tied up for months and you don't have cash to do that. so they get that, and t

i've been on the small business commission four years. it has been an honor and a pleasure. i made it a more pro-active body, and i'd like to say that we've started some policy initiatives out of our body that i think are precedent for how the city can better engage and do economic impact reports on how small businesses will be affected for future legislation. i have great working relationships right now with supervisor fewer's office and supervisor wal walton's office in particular, as we're working really hard on the tobacco license mitigation group, which i think is a great model for kind of looking at the strea streamlining and transition support for businesses that want to retire, but we want to keep those kinds of businesses in the city. so i think there is a lot of momentum that i would like to keep pushing forward, and, yeah, i'm looking forward to the next four years, if you will grant it to me. and i'm happy to answer any questions. >> i don't have any questions, but i just wanted to appreciate you for your work. i think you are an incredible advocate for small bus

it's fairly small. >> yeah. our asian student population is over 30% of the entire district, and they're under 5%, under 3% chronic absenteeism year by year. so we saw our last report, african-american student population continues to dwindle. we don't know why they're not coming. but that's concerning that he can with not find that out. i know this team wants to find that out, but i'm confused on why we can't if the number is so small. the next presentation, it will be helpful to get a breakdown of the percentages of students that fit these different categories because i don't believe that transportation is a real issue. so if that's actually the case, then, you know, you should prove it to me because when we look at student attendance data on where african-american students are going, many of them are going to schools in the neighborhood they live at. so you know, help me debunk that. so for foster -- i can see with our foster student population a variety of issues coming up because there's so many issues affec

this is a small amount of money. but for small businesses struggling on an everyday basis and let's remind ourselves, with the small grocery store, their anchor business was tobacco and alcohol and through our own ordinances, through a public health perspective, quite frankly, for the general, basic better health, we have put ordinances in place that actually curtail some of the businesses they have had. and so i am looking at this fee of less than $200,000 a year. i'm thinking we have a city budget of over 12 billion dollars and w$12 billion.we havt of over $2 billion and i actually think that this might be something that we could -- whether or not we agree that the dao is a duplicating what abc does or is it needed. i think when i hear from the police department that they've allocated $100,000 from abc, it is this amount of money is already going to be allocated to the pd. i think that the work they do is valuable and i just don't think that this is a fee we need to continue to burden small businesses on and that a
