we're all the same people, everyday people and it should start with people in shelters and in the s-r-os and we won't have any jails because we are connected to each other. and we don't want to be that revolving door that we keep seeing what's going on now. so, this is a very important day to be advocating for housing and services and not more jail. >> thank you very much. (applause) >> is there any other member of the public who has not spoken who would like to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, i know that we are about to lose a quorum of this committee. so, i want to give an opportunity to say anything else, but i do want to thank all of the members of the public who have patiently waited to speak, who have come to this very important hearing. i again want to thank all of the government agencies that have been involved in this matter, including, of course, our budget and legislative analyst and campbell specifically for the great work that they have done. to our sheriff's department. to the mayor's office. to, of course, the capital planning committee. to all of

on the streets in the s-r-os and especially at our safe house, we see an alarming increase in serious mental illness. mental health treatment should be a priority focus for city planning and budgeting, jailing, mentally ill people only exacerbates their problem. our safe house is an example of an effective alternative to incarceration. drug court, the sisters program, probation officers, judges, and others refer women to safe house. these women are traumatized. many are suffering from mental illness, and especially from ptsd. some are pregnant. they are young. they are old. they do not need to be in jail. we have a comprehensive program and mental, physical, and dental care, education, group therapy, money management, computer training, job internshipses and more. and we do this for slightly over half what it costs to keep a woman in jail. our graduates are working. they are off the street, out of the emergency rooms, off the welfare roll. out of jails, out of courts, and onto the tax rolls. what's not to like? all the programs that provide alternatives to incarceration, particularly

both of these issues were always in play because the arguments that were being offered by proponent os the a--s ofbe the affordable care act were using arguments that would have virtually eliminated the enumerated powers scheme of the constitution. if we'd have lost this case in a certain kind of way, we would have not only inflicted this egregious and completely misnamed affordable care act on the country, but in addition to that, at the same time we would have eliminated the power scheme that the supreme court has nebraska repiewduated in the history of this country, and that would have also happened. it would have been a constitutional disaster. and that is what we avoided. we did not seek, we did not succeed in bringing down the entire be act, although we weakened it in certain ways that may prove to be important in the future, but we did succeed in safing the constitution by getting five votes for various legal positions that most legal academics thought were obviously mistake p. and so in order to summarize that briefly, i'm just going to read four bullet points that come out of my conclu

s on os tepsbly the entity objecting has to pay for it. >> let's talk about several other potential lawsuitse that exist because this is far from over. president obama's of the employer mandate according to common law experts, some of them say it's unconstitutional, he doesn't have the power to stop the implementation of a law that congress passed and he signed in to law. and of course we know that the constitution demands that he faithfully execute federal statutes as written. so is that another legal challenge that only begins today because nobody had legal standing to sue up the law went into effect? >> it is. and we remember this from the immigration issue where the administration came out essentially saying, look, we'll suspend the enforcement of certain laws. and again, i can understand that there are two view points on this, but frankly, look, as you said, and you're right, the president if something is validly enacted, it has to be implemented. you can't have the president by executive order saying we'll delay this until 2015, put aside by the way the obvious political argument when

less than a high school diploma by roughly .3% to lower the relative wages for workers abou with at least a coe degree by .1%. c.b. os analysis of s. 744, the bill that passed the senate, shows that average wages across the entire economy are lower for the first 12 years of this policy change. so what c.b.o. says, if you pass this bill that passed the senate, it will lower wages across the entire economy for 12 years. now, is it not the deep fundamental responsibility of the members of i this senate toe attuned to and concerned about the wages of working americans, and should we not immediately reject, in a time of low wages, declining wages, any policy that our c.b.o. tells us certainly correctly will pull down further the wages of american workers? at a time we've got record unemployment, record numbers of people outside the workforce. how simple is this for us to understand? i cannot comprehend what that is this exong is thinking. -- that this congress is thinking. professor george borjas, dr. borjas from haras harvard, e leading expert in the worlgd, i think, on immigration and wages, recently noted that immigration from 1960
