sweeney wrote on his notice of violation -- so mr. sweeney wrote on the notice of its violation the amount by nine times which would be the value of the work converting it into a three dwelling building, adding the two illegal units, so i believe the fire may have started in the neighbors building. i do not have that information. i do see an emergency response for 182 madrid, but i do not have information on that property for me -- before me tonight, so i do not know what penalties were imposed. two units were added to it. we do ask that the penalty be kept in place because there is the safety, the illegal wiring, plumbing, and a lot of times this work done in an substandard manner does cause fires, which could cause injuries, so we do ask the be kept in place, and i am available for any questions. presidents goh: did mr. sweetie indicate that those two units were occupied? >> and not in this, no. president abbas -- president goh: is it in there? >> i see it permit back in 1966, so i'm not sure when the work would have been done. i do

, sweeney felt a powerful down side of the island ownership.breech flet threatened to flood his invest oomt we tried to fix it and just horse shoe around with dirt but every time putting dirt on it would just wash back out. and we'd lose a day's worth of work. >> so he floated a 40 foot shipping container out to the island and sunk it in the levy breech pending a permanent repair. together we returned five months later at high tide to see the emergency work was still holding. >> i'm standing in where there was a tidal flow. >> despite apparent success of the solution, sweeney has been told by u.s. army corps of engineers he may have violated repair permits and could be fined because of it. steel shipping containers, it seems are not on the list of approved repair materials. >> if the army corps did skprch saw this i think this would be a widely appreciated way to fix any levy break. in a few hours it stopped. >> john sweeney contacted us because he feels like he's now fighting the tide of bureaucracy. a shipping container, he believes could sav

deputy sweeney could probably answer that better. doesn't that get put into the database? that should be very easy to retrieve an updated and issued a report. why should that take a week and a half, 10 days, the same as the one when you are going back to the 1920's or 1800's? i can understand why that one would take two weeks. but a new building, that information should be right there. is there a way we can break this down so that we do not get stock 100%? we're stuck, what say we get stuck 50 percent signed, but the other 50 percent signed it -- is there a way to release that? i would love to have someone take a look at that, and i believe there is a way. >> any other commissioner comments? >> any other public comment on item 8a? >> nancy again. i would like to ask the commission to request a follow- up to the information you heard today on can't swing it permits, because once a permit has been cancelled, sometimes people want to actually then read new expired permits, and i think that is a separate issue, and it would benefit everyone if we had an update from the departm

cause rahm makes the deal, he talks to his chief of staff, sean sweeney, sean sweeney talks to michelle obama's chief of staff. susan chair has to go to the first lady and says you've been committed to do this thing in florida without er being asked or being told about it michelle obama according to her aides was really frustrated. and you know, and this is part of the larger pattern of her feeling that west wing aides weren't giving her enough say in what she was doing, weren't treating her as a partner, weren't giving her the big picture. and so she does something very interesting. midterm elections are still a year away. but she will not commit to campaigning for them. she doesn't refuse by any means, but she sa that she's not ready to commit. and so this i infuriatg to some of the political aides because they can already see that midterms are going to be very, very enough. and she holds back. and then contrast that with the michellee now who is all in, right, who is going to fight so hard for her husband re-electn. this is his last race. and you know, and she wants so badly for him

[applause] >> thank you. [applause] >> thank you. thank you very much, andy. we all read the cover article of the "washington post" magazine this last sunday where he's called democracy's restaurateur, something that i thought was an inappropriate label for him, and he brings so many people together. it's so good for many of you come this evening. we want to welcome booktv. c-span is here, so we'll stress the informality of this effort as this is tradition of booktv, which is going to relay some of your comments as well. now, we've all heard about dozens of corporate abuses, and we've all heard how ineffectual the responses have been to th

we had a good group there, ralph nader, pat buchanan, jim hoffa was there, sweeney, and what happened? remember the guy -- first it was the sea turtles, and secondly it was the guy throwing cans through starbucks and the anarchists who, basically, turned the american people off to a movement, i think the american people then would have supported. stop exporting our jobs. stop sending the factories overseas, look out for our own people first. >> host: it's interesting, that's why they're quite disciplined now in the occupy wall street in terms of nonviolent civil disobedience. that oakland conflict, for example, where the iraq war veteran got hit by a canister -- >> guest: right. >> host: even that didn't provoke it. they're really quite disciplined whereas they're not being infiltrated the way they were in seattle. but, you know, early in the reagan administration i was on a program with you, local d.c. tv. >> guest: right. >> host: and my last words were the coming months, pat, will show whether you're a corporatist or a conservative. so let me ask you the question just so people kno

started by two former white house officials shawn sweeney, bill burton, they've had a terrible time raisingnd, not just -- we knew they were way behind american cross roads, also way behind the romney super pac. that's the part of it that has really woken up the obama folks. the president has said that neither he nor senior officials will raise money for this. but they're finding their ways for the first time the story reveals obama bundlers are going to be allowed to also ask for a check for the super pac and said the president's senior officials won't raise money. but they have a new format where priorities usa, other democratic groups give a presentation and then the vice president drops by. so it's a way to say they're in the family. >> yeah. >> but they're not allowed to coordinate. we know that. it's like colbert and stewart. >> so the question is, obviously there is a growing disconnect between the president and wall street. could this be one area where the president has a little more trouble raising money in 2012 than say 2008? if you won $1 million for a super pac, it seems like wa

i want to thank this legislature and in particular your leaders president sweeney come speaker oliver, the property-tax growth no more than 2% a year for the interest arbitration award that we are getting rises to higher taxes we and we must never forget that the root cause of the rising property taxes is always excessive government spending. as with all problems you must get to the root cause and together, we did it. here is the good use the canoes. it's worked. two weeks ago the state's largest newspaper announced the results of its comprehensive study of property taxes in new jersey. the headline said all, tax relief. step number three was to get a grip on our long-term liabilities. the pension system as $54 billion in debt at the start of 2011 and is scheduled to be under water by $180 billion in three short decades without a change in the course. it is imperative that we save these to the middle class and the same time lift the burden off of our taxpayers creatively and unrealistic promise made by career politicians. succumb to the obvious, negotiated a solution to the excellent
