city. and let's be completely honest about this. and i am a strongsupporter of all the things that the city has done for the school district. we have done a lot of great things, whether it's the rainy day fund, prop h you name it we have done a lot of good things, but relative to what we have done to the school district, we have done very little for city college. and we are talking about the same people that are being impacted, thousands of the people, of the kids who go to sfusd end up going to city college and they have more or less been on the wrong relative to the city. and while i think it is important for us to make sure that we focus on muny running on time and all of that, i do think that it will be a problem if we have our buses running on time but there is no city college for kids to go to. so we have to figure out how we balance this. i don't know what the exact language for some of these issues should be. but i am going to support this resolution because i think that generally, recaptures the spirit of what we are talking about; one we re

we honor them and also this strong city. for all that has happened here, you should know this is not a city under siege. this is not a city of fear. yes, people may be holding their kids a little tighter, keeping their eyes open a little wider, but this is a city where today life and love and liberty continue. people went jogging today, they walked their dogs, brought their children to the playground and to school. boston has been battered, but it is by no means broken, not now, not ever. we've learned from 9/11 and perhaps what we've learned most is that in the face of horror and in the face of hate, we must all stand tall and stand proud and stand together. and never let anyone with a bomb in a backpack stop us from moving forward. never let anyone with a bomb in a backpack stop us from finishing the race. we do have a lot to cover in the hour ahead. let's get a quick start -- quickly update you on where things stand right now. >> reporter: targeting the most photographed spot that day in a crowded city full of cameras. it

there are scars, but this is part of the strong city, no longer an open wound. and earlier today, more than 4,000 people, singer james taylor included gathered to remember a fallen mit police officer. murdered the suspect fled last thursday. vice president biden was at the service calling the bombing suspects twisted, perverted, cowardly. what did authorities here and there know about the pair, especially the older one who travelled to russia last year for six months and was on the radar of russian intelligence a year before that. breaking news tonight from nick walsh and joe johns and gloria borger. joe, we start with you. the older brother was flirting with extremism, now you're hearing the cia was approached later that year by the russians. what happened? >> that's right. the cia nominated him. put him up as a candidate for a terror watch list system. it's our understanding the agency's involvement led to an entry into one of the databases. it also says it shared its other information with agencies and departments which we believe to be the state department,

can't run it, they want to be there because they want to send a message that this city is a tough, strong city and a proud city, and it's going to continue forward no matter what happened. >> absolutely right. anderson, probably of crucial importance, significance, they managed to take this suspect alive because his older brother is already dead. had he died, too, we don't know the extent of his injuries at this stage, then they may never have got to the bottom of what happened. as long as he's alive they have a chance of finding out the motive for what they did. >> that's exactly right. certainly, that would have been the hope that law enforcement could take the subject alive not only for the sake of justice but also to gather more information. obviously he has the option of talking, he could also just clam up and ask for an attorney. he's already been read his miranda rights by the fbi. but if he does have some sort of a political issue, some sort of a grudge that he wants people to know about, he may feel it's in his best interest to talk and that is certainly what law enforcement is hoping

if we pull together we'll get through it, we're a strong city, a lot of people willing to work together as we gather here today, with all our officials, let's say, boston will overcome. >> right now on "andrea mitchell reports" -- terror in boston. this hour, the latest on the investigation. >> the fbi is investigating it as an act of terrorism. any times bombs are used to target innocent civilian, it's an act of terror. >> we stress that any information you may have, any videos or photographs not just at that scene, but anywhere in the immediate vicinity could be helpful to this investigation. >> everyone should expect continued heightened police presence and everyone should continue personally to be vigilant. >> the victims, including 8-year-old martin richard. >>> and the dozens of people undergoing repeated surgeries today. >> i think the most important thing to consider right now is that all the patients are first alive. and second, are in rather stable condition. they're quite sick, some of them. and admitted to the intensive care unit. but overall we're very pleased with the resu

we're a strong city. people willing to work together to make it a better place for all of our people. >> we want to thank those from around the country and world whose prayers and thoughts and offers of help have poured in. we're deeply grateful as mayor says, boston will survive. >> at the white house, the american flag is at half staff. the president getting regular briefings this morning about the ongoing response and the investigation. this morning, he signed a proclamation in honor of the victims and yesterday at dinner time he promised a relentless search for answers. >> make no mistake. we will get to the bottom of this and we'll find out who did this, we'll find out why they did this. any responsible individuals, any responsible groups will feel the full weight of justice. >> joining me now at the top of the hour, msnbc's chris jansing, correspondent michael isicoff and michael leiter here, as well. chris, i want to begin with you as you spent an hour on site there talking with people that have be

i think there is nothing more important to me than moving forward with a strong voice from the city supervisors as many of you said supporting our city college. a i've been at the education level as a former president and vice president, and not letting the city step on our toes but this is a gesture of support in the spirit of faculty and community saying we need to support city college and a strongly urge support for the amendments in the resolution as a whole. >> president chiu: we have not yet voted on his previous amendment. i would like to suggest madam clerk, if a motion to amend, is that we are considering and that is embodied in the document that you circulated along with the two additional amendments that he described on page 2 line 24, substituting the word growing for inflating; page 3, line 15, striking the words competing unfunded budgeting. further discussion on supervisor mar's motion to amend? supervisor breed. >> supervisor breed: my comments are not necessarily about the amendment ; is more about the resolution as a whole. >> president chiu: any further discussion on the moti

i think that net file has been for bearing to ask for more because the city has made strong pleas to the contractor of the city to recognize the budget and they've sort of recognized that. and another one is that by working with us to develop several different platforms set of xablts we've enhanced their ability to sell the product in other cities so it's compensation for it but the reality of inflation it's not really feasible for them to give us what is ultimately a discount. and what we're looking at is we're asking for more so the costs will increase >> and do we know how many? >> i don't have the numbers here but the initial contracts what between 1 hundred and 40 thousand per year. >> i think it's 1 hundred and 17. >> it's reasonable. >> and my final question on this is do we just begin to negotiate the contract? >> well, it's already been negotiated and we - we could have had the price the same for 2 years and then a steep increase but we decided to have it remain static. we need our approval and there's 17 different departments that have to sign off >> we need to see if contra

a strong city. tom, again from a law enforcement back ground, if that is in fact the case, that this was a device or devices which were brought in today, that would help law enforcement in terms of narrowing down the window that they have to search for a video of when these devices could have been placed. >> right, anderson. i think the window would be very narrow any way, because a person would not want to leave a device there and figure it's going to be in tact for 12 or 24 hours. they would pretty much assume that any backpack or package left on the ground is going to be picked up and examined within a short period of time. so it will be pretty much expected that a person would bring the device to the scene and have it detonated a short time later to avoid having it picked up by the authorities. i would like to add, much speculation has been made about the device and whether it has ball bearings or what type of shrapnel. i was an assistant commander at the atlanta summer olympics in 1996 and was

this is a tragedy but boston's a strong city.e will get through this and like the governor said, we set up a resource center over at the castle near the park plaza hotel where staff will be there available to give information to individuals who have been involved in the marathon. it's open from 9 to 5. and the phone number is 635-5040, i believe. and our hot line number (617)534-5050. and also the 24 hot line that you need information also, that number is (617)635-4500. it will last several hours, we received calls from all over the world asking us for information about the tragedy, and how they can help us. this is a bad day for boston. i think as we pull together, we'll get through it. a lot of people willing to work together to to make this a better place for all our people. as we gather here today with all our officials, let's say boston will overcome. >> thank you mr. mayor. >> thank you governor. thank you mr. mayor. the president of the united states has pledged his full support in all efforts to keep the city safe, and to

assess at this point why it happened, why they did it, and in the mean time, this has been a very strong city. i got to tell you, i'm very proud of this town, and of my state. people have. terrific. the professionalism of police and fire and medical personnel has been remarkable, and i think we're all proud to be from boston, even in the face of all of this. neil: governor, believe me, in the middle of fire, you don't want to cast dispersions, but do youuthink it was a good decision on the part of the governor to ease that lockdown? you can argue it was because it got people out of the homes and one of those folks found blood that led to a boat and under the canopy, the alleged attacker. others argue, well, it endangered their lives doing so when within minutes there would be the shooting rampage. >> well, we had great leadership from the governor on this, and i wouldn't second guess him for a minute. look, i've been not in this particular kind of situation, but i certainly had to deal with serious emergencies as governors, and you rely heavily on your professionals to guide you, i'm sure he

working class bears that out and vindicates those policies like i said before she has a strong percent of the city and strong support from the working. class while the workers are like a long term decline. go ahead the problem is that what you've got is short term well for long term decline you can bet on the futures market all you like and let's all be rich for a couple of decades and then the turnaround happens that's the consequences of the legacy case that some people are terribly poor with no opportunity and some people are you know horribly rage and there isn't much in between all you've got is the middle class overworked and underpaid and it isn't a great director say. you can have a tough leader and lots of people who recognize celular it's only during that the cycle or day line of a little i'm by are not are they that well that or are going very little cliff or jump in go ahead yes the secular decline of the middle class started well before that or took office we have the same problem in the united states that there is an uneven growth opportunities did widen at the top and the next to th
