if you are discussing severing out subsection e of 2116 and eliminating appeals of exemptions at this point, a could be amended to read "if the board of first the negative declaration or eir, that should be final and shall not be appealed again." then it would not be discussing exemptions any longer. supervisor chiu: thank you. that is exactly what i am trying to achieve and i would ask if we can incorporate that. chairperson maxwell: that is to additional amendments. -- two additional amendments. supervisor mar: my head is spinning from the legal language in changes that have been made so quickly. i share planning department staff concerns. a lot of neighborhood representatives -- i do not think this is ready for prime time. i appreciate the efforts to try to move forward with some of this, but i do feel we are tinkering with a 40-year-old law that is about protecting the environment and giving a voice and some say to neighborhood groups, sometimes challenging good and bad projects. i do not feel comfortable supporting the legislation, but i feel comfortable with the work of bill bar

so you ask yourselves what are the sections in subsection h? you go to subsection h, it says we're going to exempt the budgetary affects of measures first one mentioned repealing the patient protection and affordable care act. we are writing into the blueprint of the governing rules of the house. a mechanism to disguise the true budget deficit impact of repealing this legislation. now we all know that we have a nonpartisan, congressional budget office. their job is to let us know what the deficit impact of legislation we pass in this house is. sometimes we agree with their estimates. sometimes we disagree with their estimates. but the whole budget process will collapse in chaos if we decide to write the political budget estimates of individual members of congress into these bills. and ignore the estimates of the professionals. i mean it is like being at a football game and when the referee makes a call, and you don't like the call, you throw the referee off of the field and think that your team gets to make the call instead. i would encourage e

it says that a measure may only qualify for an exemption under this subsection if it does not increase the deficit over the period of fiscal years 2011 through 2021 beyond the exemptions permitted under the current law of the land under statutory pay-go. and at the appropriate moment, we will offer that. mr. dreier: will the gentleman yield? mr. van hollen: i'll be happy to yield to the gentleman. >> they promised accountability but they're delivering hi pockrassy. they said that their number one goal wilbe job creation. there's not a bill, not a word, not an idea about job creation in the first two weeks of the congress. mr. andrews: they said they were going to reduce the debt and the deficit. well, mr. van hollen very accurately points out, this bill says we'll reduce the deficit except when we deal with health care or tax cuts for the wealthy in which case we'll pretend it doesn't exist. we'll pretend there's no deficit when it comes to health care, the largest expenditure, and then for the wealthiest. and then hours ago the majority said we're going to cut $100 billion from this y
