in south dakota dakota we have similar challenges but on an agricultural basis and a rural basis. just curious as to your thoughts with regards to the projects that as you've indicated earlier in your statements and so forth that they need to be modernized. and we have to be more efficient if we're going to expect tax payers to put more dollars in at some point in the future. how do you move forward from the federal side now when you're working with communities large and small states large and small, differing expectations in terms of the quality and yet at the same time, the need for modernization of different projects. what do we do to convince and gain the confidence of the individual tax payers who look at a federal operation here that under traditional operations take a huge amount of time just to get a project ready to go approved and then actually built. what do we do to convince them that we have modern ways and more efficient ways to actually deliver those probablingjects in a timely basis. have you gotten ideas. would you share with us a little bit in terms of your thoug

here we are in south dakota we have hi-tech company and that's -- where is south dakota?>> all started back in 1968 on campus of south dakota state university, with two friendly engineering professors both south dakota natives. >> i tell people who were rich. >> al, reece's father and duane sander were looking for way to help their students find local jobs. >> we were seeing our students leaving the state and thought we should try to do something to keep our students here. >> they end space entire repair shop off main street in brookings and never really planned to leave. >> you talk to start-up companies, venture capital lists they always talk about their exit strategy. what is your exit strategy. myxi et strategy for the company was no exit. >> his first hire a graduate student named jim morgan. he went on to become daktronics c.e.o. years later. back in those days he didn't know what the company was supposed to make. >> didn't have a product when we started. every accomplishment you celebrate. >> they finally put their engineering minds together to build this. a scoreb

-- and here, south dakota -- in the air, so dakota -- in pierre, south dakota in 1913. that's back in the days when everything was totally cool. you can find western exploration when you're playing tag or something. everybody has the idea that virginia has all these historical sites. you can see that as late as the middle of the 18th century, the french are pretty confused about western north america. you can also see that the french presence out west is meager. and dependent three of -- and dependent. you have two french explorers dependent on the indians they are working with. this is not the imposition of french power. this is a few scouts trying to figure out what's going on out there. horses have moved north by the 1740's, and there seems to be indications of quite a bit of warfare in the northwestern plains by this time. with these anecdotes in view, we can address some questions. all right? one question we might ask is why -- when did the study of the spanish start? when was the expedition? the first half of the course. [laughter] 1520's, 1530's, the coronado exp

dave brown the chief operating officer of wyoming services which serves our state of south dakota. mr. bill johnson the former director of port of miami and former chair of the florida ports council. mr. teal, the multimodal director of the missouri department of transportation and we have mr. chris john who's here on behalf of the fertilizer institute where he serves as president. thank you so much for being here. i look forward to hearing from you. we will start to my left mr. lonegro. >> good morning mr. chairman. mr. ranking member and members of the committee. i am frank vice president. thank you for the opportunity to appear here. i am here to represent csx and our current view of the state of tran train control in preserving the safe tif of our workers the safety of our communities and operating capacities in the thousands of decisions that we make everyday. since the year 2000 the freight train accident rate has fallen to 42%. through the consistent investment in infrastructure and new technologies. america's railroads invest more than $25 billion annually. for the last six

in south dakota more than doubled since 2010. and have gone up seven times since 2000. so, if you take a typical family farm in south dakota that bought a section of land between 600 and 40 acres back in 2000 for 640,000 dollars, roughly the price at that time, and i would note that in south dakota, that would be considered a small farm . today, that same farmland is probably worth between $2.5 million and $4.5 million depending on where it is located here so according to the current law, that family farm is not taxed when it passes from one generation to the next. now come under the administration's proposal, that family farm would be hit with significant -- tax. your proposal, as i understand it exams $100,000 in capital gains, or $200,000 per couple. and it raises the gains to 28%. so in that example, the south dakota family would suddenly find themselves facing a tax bill of $1 million or more. so, most farms of the size would not have liquid assets to deal with that large of a tax bill. the only way they would be able to pay

new mexico is a long way from south dakota and north dakota. mandan information, if the can talk about the spanish that would suggest that information seems to be moving on the plains. what would facilitate the spread of information on the plains in the 1700s? conceivably, horses are moving information more quickly. people are so terrified by horse peoples, information is moving less rapidly. it raises the question. i think it is that people are moving information and trading goods longer distances. let's shift a little bit too new mexico governor in 1754. he is writing a report to his successor saying that if you want to be a governor new mexico, this is what you need to do. this flows from what we talked about earlier. what is the big problem for the governor new mexico? what keeps him up at night? it practically answers itself. yes? >> [indiscernible] >> potentially, but also attacks on the indians outside the colonies. what mike a revolt of the pueblo indians less likely in the 18th century that it had been in the 17th century? >> because t

i mean, that's how we keep that economy sustainable in states like south dakota. and strikes me at least that this is just a very, very punitive tax on family farms and small businesses. >> senator, i would say on the capital gains rate what we have proposed is returning to the capital gains rate that was in effect under president reagan at a time when we went through a period of economic growth with that capital gains rate. so, i don't think the capital gains rate is something that is an untested one. in terms of the impact on illiquid assets we designed it so it wouldn't require a forced sale and we would look forward to working with you to deal with issues that arise in the design of a provision -- >> even if the rate goes back to the 28% rate, which it was before, i mean you're still talking about shifting the time the which the gain is realized and hitting people -- essentially, i mean it's death tax. normally for a begin to be realized, somebody has to sell the asset. in this case, that doesn't happen. i mean, this just seems like a really strange proposal,

i believe i met your guest when i was up in south dakota. >> that is entirely possible, mr. chairman. my opportunity of the day is to introduce the secretary of the department of transportation in south dakota. i have known him for years and i had the opportunity to appoint him a secretary of transportation when i was governor. i can share with all of you, he has seen the ins and outs and challenges of trying to work with limited funding in a rural state in which there is always a challenge in terms of how you take the dollars and spread them out in literarily delivered the best you can. you come back to a legislative body that is always questioning how you spend money. if i could, i want to share with you in south dakota we have challenges like everyone else. it is a rural state. 200 miles up and down, 400 miles east and west. 91% of the straight has -- of the state has structurally-deficient bridges. we need to manage our highly and bridges. -- our highways and bridges. i can share with you that to i look forward to working with the other members on this committee and with

how exactly are they going to do this, to blow up the biggest building in south dakota?ybody going to get hurt? >> authorities set up a wide perimeter. because there is so much land around the building, the plan is to tip the zip over like a tree rather than implode it straight down. that way, fewer explosives are required, according to demolition site manager, eric schuller. >> it was a very solid structure. to install enough explosives would have been a pretty big feat. to tip it over, it was a lot easier method. the explosive experts removed concrete in between the columns and then installed explosives in those columns. the plan was then to remove that support structure similar to falling a tree, creating a wedge for a tree to fall down to the east. >> on december 6th, 2005, with tens of thousands watching in person and on tv, the zip's time has come. >> 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 -- >> whoa. >> the zip dips but it doesn't tip. >> instead of going over like i knew it was supposed to, it fell into this hole. a story and a half was blown out of it and there was really only one metal

i want to follow up briefly on what my colleague from south dakota question. obviously bring from the that we have similar concerns and problems with some of these small family farms and ranches. in my state there's over 230,000 small businesses. it's my understanding, and correct me if i'm wrong, generally no tax would be do on small family businesses and those old. can you clarify to me what that business threshold would be? define what a small business is. >> senator there is a provision in our proposal that would exempt very small businesses truly small businesses spend what is the threshold? >> the threshold is million dollars. it's in the threshold and it was designed ease the burden on family businesses, the mom-and-pop stores. i think that for larger businesses that are still medium-sized the 15 year provision that i described for a working business is way to take the incidence of the stepped-up basis and spread over a very long period of time, which we think is a way of addressing the needs of the larger and small business. >> mr. secretary, thank you

larry: nice, south dakota. man well, the guys on mount rushmore can finally make it official. ( laughter ) yup. that teddy is a bear. that's for sure, right? ( laughter ) absolutely. okay, but you know what? to be honest, i thought same-sex marriage was already legal in-- i apologize. you know, i've been so involved with my blackitty-black-black stuff. i just have been lacking my gayitty-gay-gay. sorry. i haven't been paying attention to the l.g.b.t. struggle. my bad okay. all right so where is it legal now exactly? let's see. okay so we're missing only texas, louisiana, those ones over there. ( laughter ) north-ul-tucky, i think so. all right, i've been slacking on my geography, too. sorry. anyway, also, gay marriage is now legal in 36 states. ( cheers and applause ) wow. that is pretty good. whoo! man! i am really happy for you, gay people but i gotta say, that's a little fast, man. i mean-- no, no, i'm not hating. i'm not hating, but maybe i'm just a little jealous, you know. because black people spent hundr

the south dakota public utilities commission in july of this year said south dakota residents will see their rates double as a result of the cpp disproportionately effecting the west. thank you. >> thank you. senator gillibrand. >> thank you very much mr. chairman for this very important hearing. thank you assistant administrator for testifying here about -- bless me -- the administration's act to enact free air and the climate air is real and the burning of fossil fuels burn to it significantly and it is an immediate threat to families in every corner of this country and the world. industrial activity is a major contributor to the carbon emissions over the years and our country is a leader in creating the problem but now thanks to the hard work of this administration we are on track to solving this problem. something that i think is often overlooked by many of the opponents of rules that limit carbon pollution is the benefit families will see in terms of public health the rules are supported by health professionals. the academy of pediatrics and the lung association, thoracic society

the keystone pipeline would go through western south dakota. for those counties it would be a good shot in the arm. for many the property taxes would fund schools. it would fund schools, roads and bridges. it would give the opportunity to transport the supplies they need so desperately in a safer manner and take care of their environment as all studies have proven. what he is saying is no to safety no to the environment no to funding schools, and no to safer roads and bridges. i'm determined to do all i can to get this bill signed into law so we can build this pipeline. >> i want to start out by thanking the house for passing the senate bill so we do not have to go to conference and the bill can now go to the president. this really is about energy and jobs. it's about national security through our country. 62 votes in the senate. i partisan majorities. all the states are on board. most american people are on board. last three years, poll after poll shows that 65 and 70% of the american people support this project. you have the congress on board

they are even buying a radio station in south dakota.hey argue that pandora's reach is much larger than any terrestrial radio station, the 81 million listeners, who are not most of them in south dakota. this comes after pandora one against its rival organization. joining us is the ceo of the future of music coalition. to me, this is existential for pandora. they cannot survive unless they can get lower rates of music. >> that might be the case but it is true that this is part of the process. the southern district court of new york oversees the rate-setting process for pandora. the real policy or political fight here is more about what evidence is allowed to be considered in the rate determinations or whether there should be government oversight at all. to me and a lot of songwriters -- we feel that having a public process is important because it is more transparent. one of the challenges for songwriters in the digital era is understanding how much you are supposed to get paid, by whom, and when. the transparency issue is key. the rate-se

i've talked to tyson's in my state in south dakota and they shared with me that we've got beef and pork sitting in freezers in the ports instead of heading to asian markets. and while we've got all these large container ships sitting off the coast waiting to export our nation's products. and that affects jobs. tyson's employs 41000 people. the usda estimates there are a million jobs associated with agricultural exports in this country, so it has a profound impact on the economy not just on the west coast but all across the country, and workers in south dakota and other places that are dependent upon like i said, a reliable supply chain. outdoor gear inc. family-owned business in south dakota they're a wholesaler, receives 5% of its inventory from west coast ports, has been forced to miss deadlines and pass up sales opportunities including in december, which is the holiday peak season. this is an issue that just really needs our focus. it's a huge drain on the economy, and i just urge all sides to come to a resolution in this dispute to find a solution as soon as possible. we can't affor

we have a limited number of electric generating resources in south dakota. each facility is vital to meeting the needs of my state and our surrounding states. in light of this what, if any, flexibility is built in, and what about the facilities in the midst of a big upgrade, and are now being told they need to do even more to meet these addition signal al regulations you plan on regulating. >> thank you senator, we're welcoming conversations at this level of detail from states and we're having many of them. i trust and hope your state provided that input to us in your comments and that we're having those conversations. i want to put out again that it is not perscriptive. we are looking very closely at all of the issues that you're raising with us. in particular if states think we got something factually wrong we urge them to tell us and many of them have. so, again, i presume that your state is having that conversation with us. and if we have something factually wrong we will address that. e want to make sure that the final rule is appropriate and correct an

south dakota 3.8%. what is factoring into those states with lower numbers or with higher numbers? guest: some of the strongest it's right now, by and a lot of measures, north dakota is number one by almost every measure and that is because of the oil boom there. energy is really driving a lot of this, especially in the west. and sort of the middle corridor of the country from texas up to north dakota, states are doing very well. host: our guest is here to talk about conditions in the states, particularly as the national governors association meets today. you can watch it later on c-span, by the way. if you want to ask our guest questions you can do so this morning. you know, we put the lines bipartisan but when these governors meet, i suppose the partisan issues go out of it? guest: to some extent, yes. this is a bipartisan organization. as a said, a big reason is for sure that he is. to some degree, it is run by a democrat and a republican. governor hickenlooper: and governor herbert have a great relationship. i have seen them interact many times now. they joke with one another. o

heavy snowfall also hit south dakota. high winds drifting snow and reduced visibility there causing complications complications. not a problem for everyone though. look at the nice white beard on that dog. the tail is wagging so you know he's happy. look at the people in detroit. they made the best of a snowy situation. they skipped the super bowl. they took a chance to slide down. >> the reaction from parents when kids have to stay home from school and kids staying home from school is very different. a detroit man thought he had a great idea. he tossed on a pair of skis and hooked himself up to the back of a car. a local news station spotted him, broadcast this image live. the mayor who was being interviewed by the station, not impressed. he called police to track down the skier to give him a ticket. >> not in my town. >> then he sees a guy skis down main street. >> schools will be closed in ohio. a travel ban is in effect for toledo. cleveland has 40 snow removal crews out and a parking ban in place. martin savage is th
