under subsection 4, we inserted a subsection c that states, "the commission agrees to assign an individual commissioner to act on behalf of the commission for the duration of the m.o.u.." now, i think this -- are you lost? so if you put the original to the left side and the addendum to the right side, on page 4 and page 3, there's a bolded section on each one that says open lines of communication. and on the m.o.u. side, it says, the commission -- that the commission will sign wup, as well. and so first of all, i want to acknowledge that bob hirsch did the majority of the work on this addendum. this was before commissioners elias and i came onto the commission, and i -- i think we're all grateful for the work of the -- of the commissioners present and who are on fire who stopped this process in its tracks because the police commission was cut out of the m.o.u. for -- for whatever reasons. commissioner hirsch stepped in and drafted the majority of this m.o.u. i -- when i came on, i had some discussions with cal d.o.j., and they wanted -- they had some concerns about how we worked together t

they held the residual clause is unconstitutional but left in place subsection a. while perhaps not an ideal formulation, section a can now suffice as a placeholder until congress can undertake a more deliberate approach. even so the senate would have a companion bill, which to our knowledge, it does not. . changing the definition of a crime of violence can have other harmful effects. there is proposed legislation that excludes people convicted of a crime of violence from a pretrial release consideration, expungement of crimes, and receiving visitors. it would exclude people convicted of a crime of violence from pretrial release consideration, expungement of crimes, and receiving visitors while in custody. unnecessarily expanding who is ineligible for these provisions is both unwise and counterproductive. so as i have indicated. it is important that when we work together we must work together through the goals of reforming our criminal justice system, which congress has acknowledged needs dire fixing. let's work together. i'm pushing for the revisions of criminal j

thank you look at 699-12-a-1, subsection a, there, it specifies that requests for formal opinions need to be in writing, right, but for informal advice, there's no requirement that the request for formal advice must be in writing, as well? so i don't read that as just being restricted to e-mail advice. >> i would imagine that there would be multiple scenarios of people coming to the commission and seeking both written advice by e-mail, clarifying questions about a filing, or, you know, what documentation would need to be submitted for a public' financing qualification request and also questions that would come up over the phone, when do i need to file my 460? those -- i think those two scenarios would be encompassed by the formal advice section. >> so if i may, just to describe in brief some of the protocol in the office, having seen it firsthand, what pat is setting forth here in these regulations concerns two categories that the charter itself creates, opinions and advice. those two things that the charter creates, and which we now need to clarify by regulation because the charter le

sometimes i am sympathetic because numbers of subsection three and section five, blsah blah blah. >> i read all of the sections. [laughter] hasn at judge kavanaugh gone through other confirmation process, have you ever heard about this issue at all? i wonder why it did not come up. senator patrick leahy: i am just referring to a we have seen in the press. i have not heard about this before. >> is it appropriate that senator feinstein at this moment, a week before the senate judiciary committee is going to vote, make public this letter and asked the fbi to investigate? it is nottrick leahy: the fbi, i thought it was the people who did the background check. whoever it was, what would be inappropriate is if she had the allegations sent to her and did not have somebody look into it. >> but she has had it since july. she is patrick leahy: usually very careful. and acts with integrity. i think about what would happen andhere was an allegation after a confirmation, somebody said, by the way, ask about this. again, this is the problem that happens when you rush something. when you get last-m

the talk about individual freedom the talk about freedom of choice yet want to restrict it from a subsection of society and that's. that runs counter to everything that those liberal democracies claim to stand for and i just don't think this law is right and it should be rescinded peter if we look at the law now this new ban has come in and you know with your expertise the woman was crying because she thought that her veil would be forcibly removed how can the police implement such a ban in this situation. with huge difficulty if it wasn't in the context of a protest then that's even more concerning. and even more understandable that the officer. chose to exercise the discretion and not rip the face covering noise and then to sort of console and she got upset about that. this is a hugely difficult law and it would be incredibly. incredibly difficult for the police in in this country where i'm familiar with how the police operate for them to enforce it because there is no there is no understandable wrong behind it we are we are getting into the policing of personal choice and it's always diff

you jerry tell us about this group and their position regarding this practice right so there's a subsect of shia islam and they're called the woody bora community and female genital mutilation is something that is commonly practiced in this group and over the last year in response to more awareness and global pushback against the practice they have also come out and there are into their own practices particularly what they call the cuffs which is the term they used to describe female genital cutting now the group is called da woody bora women for religious freedom they're active online they have a website and a twitter presence a relatively small one are around fifteen hundred twitter followers but it's full of first person accounts of women who have undergone the practice. and they wanted to continue because they say it's their religious right now what's made people upset is that it appears twitter has allowed the group to pay to promote itself and what that means is that a tweet from the group has appeared on the timelines of people who don't follow them the tweeting question is a vide

this that yes section one hundred twenty seven subsection two refers to the use of slave labor but it doesn't define slave labor. were said it gave you no kudo of is a research of the general prosecutor's academy he's been working for years on improving legislation dealing with exploitation and slavery criminal employers have little to fear in the way of repercussions the protected by the vagueness of the more i'm sure you were allegedly so we had a cubicle go to tell you when you get. every slave owner can just claim his slaves a free they choose. not to leave the factory. below she in the premium why do i say that in bello loose they similarly have a section one night one that refers to the use of slave labor but it goes further the use of slave labor and other forms of exploitation you need for my exploit that fully human form exploded out if we had that formulation in russia lawyers would have an effective tool for taking action. was bush learned you lot you probably give us. the rooms in the academy a highly reminiscent of the soviet era the veteran legal expert doesn't think the

subsection c. as proposed, the language in the ordinance is a little bit confusing.so rather than trying to word smith it, i think it's easier to take it out. it says that the priorities of the early education for all initiative are laid out in the propositions language. so we don't need this, the language there. the cleanup language makes it more clear the office of ece to retain discretion, to allocate resources. that is the intent. and i think taking it out will not change that intent. i want to say that what is not in there, that after thinking about and listening to, not only the community, but also the people that need to implement it at the office of ece and speaking with the mayor recently, that right now we have the implementation or the plan to be completed within six months. and when thinking about it -- there is an urgency. that's why we put six months in the first place. but let's be realistic about all this. six months, we may not be ready. not only because maybe the plan isn't ready, but i think when we're talking about many of the issues that we're de

the solicitor's office that spent the entire career, not only on the act but little sub select -- subsections of the act and they would be very prepared. i asked for the entire legislative history of the esa and we had , at that time the kids were little and my wife and i were going on vacation. a great place to go with small kids pick we went to dewey and i said i am not leaving for a whole week and a half. i am reading the entire legislative history of the esa and i spent my time doing that when i went back and met with the solicitor's office and started with basically not with the consensus within the office about how we should approach certain questions that obviously needed to answer -- be answered because just like obama administration the fish and wildlife service at that time had decisions that could not be supported in court. the lawyers and the solicitor's were divided and we sat down with them and worked through the issues. i challenged the lawyers to think about the respective views of their colleagues. they put in the time and i put in the time and it was a big effort. i got read

these are some of the questions, personal background, subsection one, childhood through high school. did you ever use alcohol and if so, how old and how often? at parties? alone? did you ever use drugs? >> did you ever use your parent's prescription drugs? that typo was in the letter. they misspelled parties. later on they asked again when kennedy was in college of questions about alcohol. in college, did you ever use drugs? >> also, marijuana, cocaine and etcetera, did you attend parties, again, misspelled and were drugs used? then they asked him about law school. they thought glue sniffing would not be an option. did you ever use drugged? when ronald reagan's nominee ginsburg had flamed out right before kennedy, it was an embarrassme embarrassment. it was a big political failure and a big embarrassment for the white house and the president. they decided they would blame the fbi and blame the justice department for not having to adequately explore ginsburg's background before the nomination was announced. when they replaced douglas ginsburg with a new nominee, they made sure there w

and there is a subsection here that talks about in the eastern neighborhood mixed-use district, which is almost 1/3 of the city, enclosed utility sheds not more than 100 square feet for the storage of landscaping and gardening equipment with a maximum of 8 feet above otherwise applicable height limits. if we can have a shed for landscaping, we certainly should find a way to protect the elevator, which is the most expensive piece of mechanical equipment in a building. so i ask that it be investigated and maybe there's a way to provide code refinement to allow that kind of vestibule at a rooftop elevator. thank you. >> president hillis: thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is paul webber. i'm here to discuss the c.u. for the lombard east site at jackson and polk to open a formula retail, whole foods-related market in the vacant building. i and many others are opposing it. i would like to identify what i believe are two key reasons to deny the c.u. there's a whole foods at franklin and california, a short drive from polk street. and from the western flank
