. >> the $30 million value would be over the entirety of 2012. there is going to be about $15 million in the current year, so the total value projected for this year and next year is about 45, and some of that current news will probably be offset by other factors. there is another ballot measure we assume will pass to clarify the hotel tax regulations that failed at the ballot, so that will partially offset, and we have other changes in property tax, but to contribute directly is about $45 million. >> thank you. >> offsetting that stabilization in revenues in general is the loss of some significant revenues. we have known these are coming. the primary one is the expiration of the medical assistance increase done as part of the federal stimulus. that is in the process of ramping down during the second half of this year and will be off the books entirely starting next year. that is a loss of about $47 million mostly in the health department and human services agency, and we also balance the current budget of around revenue from the hospitals' fees t

mainstream media is one thing, but it's only a piece of the entirety of the conversation that goes onn politics today. some people try to be responsible and some people feel they are responsible but they do it in a different way. we saw all that, it just crystallized in the couple days -- gwen: yeah, who among us has not used some kind of targeting mentality to describe politics or to describe almost anything? but the question still becomes at the ends of a -- end of a long week of debate in which we went eight steps forward and three back -- sarah palin pushed back pretty aggressively against the notion that she was culpable and then the president and john mccain talked about this in far more calm ways. do we lose site -- sight of the danger here, that the members of congress do this, there are 535 members of them, mostly without extreme security, who believe their job when they get home on the weekend is to go meet with constituents in? right. that's why for congress this was not just a random act of violence they could look calmly at and say gee, that's too bad. it's something they

speaks to her passion about small business issues and why her voice would represent us well in the entirety, not just in the commission but in small business, as well, and lastly, i would like to address the civility of conditions in this building and that there is a practice that presidencies and vice presidencies switch back and forth between mayoral commissioners, appointed commissioners, and board of supervisors-appointed commissioners, and, personally, i would like to see luke this year, and i would like to see janet president. i think that is simple. as we continue to team up to devotes to be president, it is disingenuous, and president riley yee has done a great job this year, for all of the time and energy that she has put in it, but for the record, i want to say that our director's job was threatened last year unless all four mayoral members voted for the candidates, and for agency, for a body like ours, which is here to defend small- business issues, this is not about progressives and moderates, etc.. we are not dealing with those issues. we are dealing with rights of the small bu

anyway, as i looked at brendan sullivan's career over the entirety of his 35 years, i used to always say in my articles about him and when i was talking to people, i would say brendan sullivan has gone 35 years and has never had one client serve any time in jail which was pretty remarkable because by the time people got to him, they were usually pretty far up the creek. it wasn't like he was defending, you know, too many roman catholic nuns or that sort of thing. and after a while i began to wonder if it was really true. was i just saying this? had i just repeated this story so many times that i believe t it or not? and so one of the things that i tried to do in this book was to go back and talk a little bit about why brendan sullivan has this passion that he has and what the pattern is from when he first came to williams and connolly after being, defending prisoners at the presidio stockade in san francisco and then on to his first case when prosecutors sort of routinely -- he discovered that prosecutors didn't always behave in the most correct manner possible. and i sort of came to
