we had a comparative for the study and found those positions were underfunded because the were primarily women and people of color. 80% to 90% women and people of color. the value of their work, because of sexism and racism, is considered lower. those wages were increased. we were sorry to see the decrees and fought vigorously against that, as some of you may know. we are pleased this wrong was addressed before. we are pleased it is being addressed again. thank you very much. chairperson farrell: thank you. any other members of the public that wish to speak? seeing none, a public comment is closed. colleagues, any comments? entertain a motion. a motion to send this forward with recommendations to the full board. can we take that without rep -- without objection? so moved. >> there are no further items. chairperson farrell: meeting adjourned.

cutting funding for programs that are already underfunded is not the right solution. we are also survivors. as we have gone through our history with the taking of land and not receiving our do share, we will survive. we definitely need help with these services and programs, thank you. >> thank you. >> i agree it would be devastating to our tribe and to our region as a whole. i agree that across-the-board cuts are not the way to go. historically, tribes have been under unfunded since the beginning and also -- in the beginning, too, tribes were predominately self-sufficient prior to everything that has been happening. a similar to the way of life we are attempting to lift and to cut budgets further, the treaties have been around for a long time and the trust funds had been around a long time. it has never been fully met financially. and -- the services is what comes back to from the government. we are trying to run our own tribal governments. we have our own services and provide the best weekend and if you start cutting the dollars, it will take away from the people. it

through gardens through to our through you plans show private sector funds across the country are underfunded by trillions of dollars. california has the problem of coming up short buy about $600,000. then we show san diego's plan. >> check green showed his city's newest library. it cost nearly $8 million in there are three others like it in the city but they are all in the. >> we don't have enough operating dollars to open this up to the public. >> why can't you afford it quick. >> our biggest cost factor and skyrocketing pension costs. >> pension costs have grown from $73 million in 2001 to 225 million. to pay those pensions to city has cut 2000 jobs including 49 firefighters and 66 police officers. the new police station is also empty. taxpayers are paying for services and should get those services. >> this began in the 1990's. california was flush with revenue from the .com and housing loans, brooms. >> when i first look at the numbers, i do at double take. >> joe nation studies government pension costs at stanford university. >> how does that feel that government workers are getting? >>

harris waford, and ron klink was underfunded. >> you're right about that. remember, 1994 was also the republican's year in which the gingrich revolution of the republicans swept back into the house for the first time since the '50s. regained the senate for the first time since 1986. and he had spent a good bit of his three years in washington. there's no doubt about it, and ron klink as you point out, not just underfunded, he was -- he was outraised by santorum about 3 1/2 to 1 as you accurately point out. and then he ran into a juggernaut. and the state in 2006 when he ran against bob casey jr. with the brand name. you're right about that. but he also, you know, in a democratic state had to claw his way around. and he does -- look, no one will outwork him. no one will get in the fray more quickly and more deeply than he does. and no one provocative as we've seen in the last three weeks. >> all right. i'm looking at your polling right now. you show santorum winning -- win the republican primary big and you would think that would be the case. looking at the

it's underfunded. i completely agree with that. we've had great conversations already about that. we have been overspending. that's been a fact. it's been supplemented by the general fund. for a while. we recognize that. we have multiple issues here. solvency, we have to resolve that. projects have to be done. infrastructure is essential for our commerce and is a responsibility that we do have as well. that's why this process sets up a reserve fund. similar to what we're proposing to say we need to find a way to set aside an account, b

also, it is amazing what you are able to do on an annual basis considering how underfunded you are. without further ado, i would like to a knowledge one woman that has been an outstanding leader in the southeast part of san francisco. she has made the bay view community her home since 1961. she has been a role model for me, and inspiration for most. , i would like to introduce you to doris vincent. [applause] as a single mother, she purchased her first home in the bay view neighborhood in 1961 and has been a tireless advocate and community member since. her list of community and educational acts is extensive. most recently, she served as the trusty at the providence baptist church and assisted with the churches homeless service. she has served on a number of community boards and advisory groups, which include the bayview hunters point project area committee, hunters point shipyard citizens advisory committee, ucsf community advisory committee, and the bayview opera house. before she accepted his award, she was upstairs in another committee meeting. this woman is tireless. i also hav

minimize the use of general fund contributions for transportation, again, necessitated by the state's underfunding of our school district. in december, 2010, the board passed a transportation policy, 108-24sp1, which is the first modification of the transportation policy since the 1970's. prior to that, there was an accumulation of an incremental changes to a policy that was first established in the 1970's, under what we called the horseshoe plan. as you can imagine, as you well know, commissioners, the transportation policy and how we deliver transportation services is intrinsically tied to, or should be tied to, our student assignment policy. in that process that started more than a year-ago, that also included a lot of discussions at community meetings, multiple stages of development of that policy, including leading up to the policy discussions, the board's consideration of the policy, and the implementation and rollout of the first year of cuts. the board policy itself had these principles. one was to support choice in student assignment as a tactic for creating diversity, for creating divers

parks department is looking to cut the budget by $22 million and this is on top of 30 years of underfunding huge backlog of repairs. many of the best parks run essentially on banker's hours. you have to call ahead to make sure there is somebody there to take $7 for your parking fee. anyone's bet if there will be toilet paper in the bathrooms and at this point, with the latest budget cuts rolled down, the parks department created a list of 70 parks and said we are just going to close these down. this has put a lot of volunteer groups on notice, a lot of volunteer groups attached to the parks. californians love beaches, historic sites and taken out checkbooks. local governments have rallied, even the federal government has come into play and managed to take ten parks off the list. now it's 60 parks set to close, and a couple dozen other groups still in negotiations trying to whittle down that list? >> can't people just bring á> you can't padlock a park. you can't padlock beaches for sure. they pretty much had to back away from closing beaches. i believe there are coas

i will soon introduce legislation that provides a path to solvency for our underfunded local plans. my budget provides revenue to cities and towns, but at the same time we must empower these municipalities through legislation that strengthens their abilities to make reforms. the fiscal health of our state relies on the wellbeing of our cities and towns, and i urge you to join me in this effort. when preparing this budget, we looked across government and found many targets for efficiencies, and my budget request includes program consolidations and eliminations. yet, we must not forget that rhode island has one of the highest rates of public sector job losses in the nation. in the last 10 years, our state workforce has been cut by approximately 2,000 people, and our employees are being asked to do more with less. the budget i present to you tonight contains painful cuts. cuts that, in more prosperous times, i would never choose to make. but given where we are, where we need to be, and the difficult road ahead, the priorities in this budget are necessary. the cost of health and human s

to be hard-pressed to understand how cutting it by one-third, a program we all know is already underfunded, is somehow repairing it. just say that this budget, it doesn'toesn't be in 20 years. and when you look at the out ye important that members keep in y clearly in the letter they sent to the chairman, that it's not based on a cbo analysis of policies that are in this plan. it's notact, b'm just going to exactly from cbo letter so we all understand. it says, those calculations, meaning those in the cbo reporte for legislation or analysis of the effects of any given policies. has not considered whe specified paths are consistent with the policyes released today chairman ryan as part of his budget resolution. they are based on the figures specified by the chairman and his staff. and i'm going to close with this point, mr. chairman. as you start to look years, 2030, 2040, 2050, you look at that chart that we always see, i just want members to understand that when cbo says that it will decline all they're being given is numbers from the republican staff and say, plug this in as an assumptio

but they are chronically underfunded. so in conclusion, mentoring and mentorship, i have seen firsthand how mentoring can really make a difference in young peoples' lives mostly because it addresses that critical missing ingredient for so many young people from difficult backgrounds. self-esteem, self-worth that they experience. without it, there's no foundation. mentors can help develop that. and mentors come in many forms. big brothers, teachers, coaches, camp counselors, all the kinds of programs that the youth promise act would support. most importantly, mentors in the programs they are apart of provide a light that helps a young person navigate through difficult waters. and sometimes that light can make the difference between freedom and incarceration or even between life and death. thank you very much. >> i'm here to tell my story about, you know, how mentoring is so important. and i had a brother on the washington, d.c. streets. he basically fell through the cracks. the school system let us suffer. we didn't drop o

coast guard cuts are going to be broad, but not as bad as it was during the 1990 whz they were underfunded by about 6,000 people. they've got the 6,000 people back and looks like they're going to cut about 1,000 from the current workload, so they can actually do that. in terms of the forestructure, the cutting of the two national security cutters is a significant impact because it's actually going to affect grately their ability to -- greatly their ability to carry out missions that they're told to do. it's not a mission set of their making, it's something that congress has foifted upon them. >> correct. because it's something like 30 some coast guard has on the books. >>> 11. >> but depending on how you slice them. but in explaining the homeland security secretary napolitano repeatedly expressed hope that well, sort of, you know, some of this would depend on the navy in terms of what happens next. is it hoping that the navy is going to pick up some of these missions? is that what was sort of intended there a little bit? >> i don't know. i was surprised to see it myself because it indicate

i do believe the the agency was underfunded for many years and the task of regulating these enormously divorce and important and complex markets far outstrip the agency's responsibilities. we're responsible for about 35,000 regulated entity, some of which engage in some the most complex financial transactions anywhere on the earth. and it was incumbent upon to us do a number of things to keep up with the markets and to remedy the flaws that were exposed by things like the failure to catch madoff or the failure of the consolidated supervised entity program. in the first instance we have tried to restructure -- we have successfully restructured the enforcement program to create specialized units that focus on particularly high-risk activities. for example, the construction and sale of structured product, violations of the foreign corrupt practices act, insider trading, fraud in connection with municipal securities. we took a layer of management out of the enforcement division and put people back on the front lines of investigating. the results of that -- we created an office of market in

and we have a program that works with school districts, many of them underfunded, to try to help them address issues of public health for children. and many of them are not mandatory. so these are voluntary programs. education is important, as well as things like siting guidelines and other technical assistance to help for things from radon to asbestos. so that's in addition to partnering with states who are often working as well. i just have to remind us all that, yes, indoor air quality is very important but outdoor air quality impacts indoor air quality quite significantly as well. so we look at air as a whole, not simply one versus the other. >> the gentleman's time is expired. mrs. jackson, one thing that mr. mckinley brought up and a number of people have brought up is the amount of grants that are given with epa to foreign entities directly or indirectly. i would just ask that you all provide with us a list of those over the last three years. last three years. at this time i recognize the gentleman from west virginia -- i mean from virginia, mr. griffith, for five minutes. >> t

an underfunded entrepreneur is a risk for a big business. we have this great technology, i go, wow, that is pretty good. i might be interested in using that. can you deliver that to our business in europe and latin america and do that within the next 90 days? of course they can. we need capabilities that come from other places to help this kind of funding. growing a small supplier and partnering to a global one mandates they have to have the capital to grow. much as you would like did, big business, medium businesses can't be the sole banker. i will also tell you, that i think you have a role to play here. capital funding development, governments can help. you shouldn't be the sole banker. you do need to provide incent e incentives so that people can co invest with labs, universities, private seconder. you have to incentivize seed capital. when we did this survey in the greater cincinnati area, one of the surprises we had was our seed capital was overdeveloped relative to the rest of the u.s. there were lots of little seedlings being grown.

well, the 2013 budget request underfunds the commitment made that was expressly made in conjunction with the ratification of the s.t.a.r.t. treaty by over $4 billion over the next five years. isn't that the case? >> it is not -- it is lower than the level of the 1251 report. yes, it is. >> it's $4 billion lower. roughly. >> i think that's right. yes. >> okay. which the president a month before ratification, to get the senate to sign on to the reductions in the s.t.a.r.t. treaty added $4 billion because we were so worried, i wasn't here at the time, but i know many of my colleagues were very worried about modernization of the program if we were going to make the reductions required by the s.t.a.r.t. treaty, and if the president is not following through, why didn't we include the $4 billion in the slipped to the right five to seven years, i believe was the number. >> would that not be a broken promise from what was required by the 2010 ndaa and what was specifically contained within the 1251 plan? >> it's certainly different than the 1251 plan, yes. clearly. >> well, if my colleagues signe

saying i mean a lot of these schools go after the proper classes and a lot of that has to do with underfunding especially in areas where they use property tax in order to fund education and you know in core areas you're not really going to get as much money as rich areas like let's say in beverly hills but you know a lot of this i think has to do with laziness on the administration's part in the schools and i think that what a lot of people want to deny that racism doesn't exist in this country anymore it's a problem that we've overcome and even if race racism isn't as overt as it was decades ago there are other ways that people participate in racist behavior and this is a perfect example of that we don't when you look at the numbers the numbers don't lie the proof is in the plenty eighteen percent of these students are african-american but huge majority of them get thrown into juvenile detention centers for minor offenses it's ridiculous can also keep in mind look if we have the type of juvenile detention centers or prisons jails in this country that work that actually rehabilitated people th

historically tribes have been underfunded since the beginning, and also in the beginning too, tribes were predominantly self-sufficient prior to everything that has been happening and assimilating to the way of life that we are attempting and to cut budgets even further, i mean the treaties have been around for a long time. the trust fund has been around for a long time and it's never been fully met financially. and, the services i guess is what it comes back to, the services from the government. we are trying to run around tribal government. we have our own services. we provide the best we can and if you start cutting the dollars, it's going to take away from the people and it will be devastating for us to continue to cut over the years. thank you. >> i want to thank you very much for your patience here, and i thank you very much for your responses of the questions and your testimony. and i want to again express my thanks to the witnesses at today's hearing. the testimony we have heard today makes it evident that the president's budget request for native programs reflects a concerte
