then the third is that the challenge presented by the state board's plan is significant. and that we haven't done anything predecisional in saying this is what we're going to do about it. but the discussion that this commission has clearly been, we need to prevent the 50% curtailment is not okay. and that we are acutely aware of that. and that if we are not able to get the voluntary agreements approved and in place, that we will have -- that those water supply needs will be far more acute and pursuing aggressively with the planning commission's approval as well. i guess those are the big takeways. and the thing that is hardest i think to grapple with is what 265 means and what it represents. and i'm glad that you included the graph that showed today's demand levels. the 223 or so i think that's important. the 265 is something that we're not currently projecting to reach, within i guess even by 2045. getting close. but i don't think we actually get there. but that that remains an obligation that we have for our wholesale customers and for our own city, as we provide for th

senate in 1996, that he would head the state school board, be elected to the u.s. house in 1999, sworn in by the great john lewis, and then fife years later elected to the united states senate as our senior senator. that was something so much more, johnny. something more, there was so much more than that senator, that we had yet to know. it was more than your resume. it was more than your title. it was more than what you were going to accomplish that stirred me or stirred any individual. it was on that night in 1990 where a man i had never met with a name i certainly couldn't pronounce with a history that i didn't know or a a future yet untold, he caught my attention my first true interasting, my first impact by a political figure in my life was that night in 1990. when the results were not what they had hoped for or what the senator had hoped for at the time or what they had worked for and yet they were in a room of friends and supporters and had to address them that night. now if you were an onlooker like me, a 20-year-old college student what do you expect? you e

we just were over ruled by the state board of education to allow another kipp school in this district. as a body that decides policies. we were ignored. kipp went above us and went to the state and authorized the petition over our heads. that is a sad statement of affairs. i hope that changes soon in the state. i am not prepared to vote against kipp. i am not for disrupting schools in our communities. i vote for it reluctantly. i do want to ask a couple questions. if somebody from the community can come up and answer about the special education resources, offering autistic classes, that is for students with emotional disturbances. >>> i brought information on our special education program. let me share that. >> can you specifically answer that question? >> is there a program for autistic and a emotionally disturbed students. >> at one school we have one. given the size we don't have pay special teaching program for autism. i should share with you amount schools we have a large number of students on the autistic spectrum such as the high school. we center created special programs. we a

enough to treat the waste of the area it serves and the situation is so bad that the ohio state pollution boardon until a new plant can be put in place. the plant superintendent says simply that he just doesn't have the facilities to do what he is supposed to do. there are plans for a new plant and the federal government may help, but it costs some $2 million to build it and it will take taxes to pay for it. as a result, largely untreated sewage runs from the plant to a ditch nearby and into a series of creeks which flow into the cuyahoga above kent. for a time, the river becomes a sewer. ♪ >> near twin lakes a new plant is under construction. it releases highly treated water back to the environment. it is the best sewage treatment system, unlike this and this plant will be adequate for future development of the area. but as it flows silently by historic standing rock near kent, the cuyahoga begins to smell and the river bed is covered with slime. the ancient grounds has succumb to modern man. ♪ just below the spillway of lake rockwell, the cuyahoga begins to show its age. the city of akron is

what i hope goes into that presentation is that we are potentially facing, with the state board's water plan a significant water supply problem in the city that will take significant investments in order to fix. the projects that we have been approving don't change that picture in any material way. sort of like we are in a jam either way, and it changes that a little bit, but not by a significant percentage. one of the objectives i had in getting to the planning commission was to let them know that in our future we may have to come to them with projects to help fill a water supply deficit that will require the planning department approvals. they need to know that. because we are making -- approving water supply assessments, that is the correct thing to do, but they also shouldn't take that as evidence that things are okay. as we look to the future there are challenges that they will be in the position of helping us make. >> commissioners, i would advise we agendize this for a future meeting. this is just new purpose and the purpose is to ask for future items for the calendar. i think we

cecilia: there is a fight for curriculum to be accepted by the texas state board of education. they are starting to incorporate this in the classroom. i think it is a wonderful thing. i think there is this fear in this country that, if you have a strong identity, if you hang onto your culture, it is a threat to assimilation and the body politic of this country. moreperience has been, the you know who you are, the more empowered you are as an american citizen and the more you can move between different spaces. but it changing finally, has been a long fight to get there. simon: in one of your recent articles, you returned to the site of the shooting in el paso, to that walmart. tell us about that. what does it look like now, and what is the feeling at the store and surrounding area? alfredo: walmart just reopened about a week ago. they after the shooting, made sort of a makeshift memorial to the victims. there were tons of rosaries, flowers, pictures of their loved ones. within 48 hours, it was all gone. back to theent relatives of the victims. some of it moved to a nearby park,

state of -- board of state canvassers agreed with a report from the michigan department of state, which found that patrick's campaign failed to submit enough valid signatures to qualify for the march 10th primary ballot. patrick launched his campaign on november 14th after the secretary of state had already submitted lists of candidates for the ballot. his campaign had to submit at least 11,345 valid petition signatures. but state officials said only 8,660 of them ended up being valid. patrick's campaign told nbc news in a statement yesterday, quote, our campaign was forced to collect more signatures than any other campaign and did so. michiganders deserve to be able to choose from the full range of choices for president. and we are weighing our options to ensure deval patrick is on the ballot in michigan on march 10th. so with 2020 almost upon us, where do things stand with the democratic presidential campaign? joining us now, nbc senior politics editor and nbc national political reporter. jonathan alan. welcome to both of you. beth,

not large after to the west in the area it serves and the situation is so bad the ohio state water prevention board has imposed a ban on new construction until a new plant can be built and put into operation. plant superintendent michael a subpoena says simply that he just does not have the facilities to do what he is supposed to do. there are plans for a new plant, and the federal government may help, but it costs some 2 million dollars to build it, and taxes to pay for it. as a result, largely untreated sewage runs from the plant to addiction nearby and into a series of creeks which flow into the yoga. for a time, the river becomes a sewer. you can here, a new sewage treatment plant is under construction. it is a tertiary plant, means it releases highly treated water back to the environment. it is the best sewage treatment system, unlike many, and this plan will be adequate for future development of the area.. but as it flows silently by the historic standing rock near can't, be the case yoga begins to smell and the river is covered with slime. the ancient tribal meeting grounds of ohio's finishe

condolences to the families of the victims but nobody will be left without the support of the state of the. board the plane was 23 years old and officials say it passed safety checks in may the president has declared saturday as a day of mourning. for more now i'm joined by aviation expert julian bray julian some initial details are starting to come in about the final moments of the crash from what you're hearing what do you make of the possible cause that could have could have led to this accident. as you say the information is coming in your own report says that the tile touched the runway twice on takeoff and this is rather disturbing because either that could be pilots are all there might be some of the actual control system not a fork or 100 is a it's a good old course and widely used in africa but company itself went out of business during the ninety's but there are many well there's hundreds of these aircrafts do in daily use and so they are maintained places and maintained very well in other places not so well but also it's the training of the pilots as well that you have to look at it. y

skeptics this might look like it another example of brussels making plans before getting the member states on board most governments support the general direction of the new green deal but the trade off between saving the planet and protecting jobs is not going to be easy for the politicians electricity is a key factor in cutting emissions and us things then in europe most of it comes from either nuclear power or fossil fuels the nuclear power sector employs more than 1000000 people in the u.n. another half a 1000000 people work in the coal industry so that's a lot of jobs that are at stake and france the continent's biggest nuclear power producers are now questioning why that sector should be excluded from the green financing we cannot succeed in the ecological transition and we cannot achieve a goal in terms of combating global warming without nuclear energy meanwhile the renewable turn it is are not always popular look at germany's wind power sector. turbine installation here has slowed down due to legal disputes long delays in planning permission and alarm over a number of birds being killed by

member states on board this very ambitious climate plan. as we understand the last remaining opponent here was poland and that's because poland has the most to lose structurally from the whole operation i believe that 80 percent of the energy mix of poland is coal so you can see that the country is very dependent on coal and that means that the cost of transition for them would be highest just to give you another example that also the german chancellor stressed number $2.00 when it comes to coal dependency in the e.u. is germany with 30 percent so there's a huge gap there even between number 2 and number one in the e.u. and that's why poland is wants to have concrete proposals they want to know exactly how much money they will get for the transition and that's why they're holding out with saying ok we will actually implement this they said ok to the overall goal of being climate neutral by 2050 but of course that's not worth a lot of they say we're ok with the goal but we will not implemented it'll be tough to pull them over but you had mor

so it was a year ago today that the state water board adopted the revisions to the bay delta water quality control plan. that triggered the sfpuc revising ten water supply assessments that have come to you with each project. and if i could have my slides, please. so as mr. richie pointed out, they looked at three scenarios, the third being the implementation of the water quality control plan. and in those water supply assessments, it says during a single drought year, sfpuc could not reliably meet the projected demands of its retail customers. the sfpuc it would impose up to 50 percent rationing. the central soma plan program eir, which the projects there are tiered off of, says development of plan and proposed changes would not require a result in the construction of substantial new water treatment facilities, and the city would have sufficient water supply available from existing sources. that plan was approved prior to the bay delta plan revisions. so everyone is agreement that the bay delta ecosystem, including the rivers that feed it, is in the state of ecological crisis. there are di
