. >> united public workers for action. we are here to oppose this sham agreement proposed by mayor ed lee. it is interesting, the supervisors are continually voting for tax subsidies for corporations, the millionaires in san francisco. this is supported by billionaire warren hellman. when it comes down to this, you want to attack city workers. this ballot proposition will be an attack on city workers' rights. you are eliminating the need to power of city workers and their representation on the board. you will have an increase in city workers and you will put it on the back of the public workers. this is an anti-labor, anti- working class tax that you are putting on the retiree's of san francisco. and you are doing it secretly. unfortunately, some union leaders and this is the best way to go. we will take the lesser evil from a dodgy. this is the wrong thing for the labor movement. -- from adachi. let's attack the public workers, let's attack their retirees. that is what you are doing. you are fraudulently telling the peopl

have been born and raised here. >> please come forward if your name is called. >> is so with the united public workers for action, and i think we have here is a case of a grand jury that says that there are serious problems with this. what you are trying to do you are trying to run this through without proper comment. we get 15 pages from a supervisor who is running for mayor. you are trying to push this through without proper discussion or analysis. the fact of the matter -- they are bad actors. the people who pay contributions to push this thing forward. these are the bad actors. this is a union busting proposition. they increased the age in retirement. in san francisco and this hearing, they're pushing their agenda against working people. we need more rental units in san francisco, not less. there are 1500 rent-controlled units that will be destroyed. and maybe we can preserve this in the future. this is giving more money to the lawyers but i did not think that this is working. the corporations to run this. we have the man running for city attorney, presenting us with a document that says t

once revitalized, alice griffith will replace 256 public housing units and approximately 700 below market rate and market rate home ownership. the hope of hope sf to connect residents and all the things that they will enhance their lives is just as important as revitalization. that is why we're here today, to ask for your approval of the transfer of the property over to san francisco housing authority. we firmly believe that the alice griffith opportunity center, which is on the alice griffith public housing development, is critical to this type of support. alice griffith opportunity center currently serves as a community hub in the neighborhood where programs and services are delivered to the residents it also houses the hope sf service connection team. currently in the center there are quite a number of services offered. there is after school program.

well i wouldn't quite put it that obama is trying to satisfy public opinion in a sense opinion in the united states on afghanistan is way ahead of president obama in terms of the desire to withdraw our troops i mean the latest pew poll shows fifty six percent. to thirty eight percent want to withdraw our troops as soon as possible only thirty eight percent are interested in keeping troops there until the situation is stabilized quote unquote so i mean that's really you know it's not that obama is satisfied in public opinion what he's doing is primarily satisfying the interests of the pentagon in

the first registered terminal and one of the must modern and sustainable terminals and the united states. the public art program continues its 30-year legacy of integrating art into the airport environment with the addition of five new commissions that are as bold and dynamic as the new building. >> this project was completed in record time, and we were able to integrate the artist's early enough in the process that they could work with the architect said that the work that is completed is the work that really helps complement and instill the space as opposed to being tucked away in a corner. >> be experience begins with the glass facades that was designed with over 120 laminated glass panels. it captures the experience of being under or over clouds when flying in a plane. depending on the distance or point of view, it can appear clear for more abstract and atmospheric. the subtle colors change gradually depending on the light and the time of day. >> i wanted to create an art work that looks over time as well as working on in the first glance. the first time you come here, you may not see a. but you

and actually i think one piece of good news is that the good that the particularly in the united states the public is waking up you know we as a society have a pretty high tolerance for inequality because of the kind of myth ology that people are reading are because of their deserve when there are way they are because of who they deserve to be where they are but. but i think the economic meltdown in two thousand and eight was a public opinion really began to shift more people are saying oh the economy is tilted the rules of the economy are tilted to benefit the very wealthy and and they're starting to see the relationship between extreme inequalities of wealth and income and instability in the economy so the economy more people are saying hey this isn't working for me so i think that's the first stage you know of waking up is to see that actually the things that we care about the quality of life the stability of the middle class are actually tied into these inequality trends they're undermining all that we care about we're talking with scholar and author of chuck collins will be back with more in

public housing is operated. we have brought new tools like the trees neighborhoods program. we have seen transfer of almost 100,000 units of the most distressed public housing around the country but we also heard that many other kinds of affordable housing privately-owned affordable housing didn't have access to the same tools so we created a choice neighborhood program that allows you to transform that housing as well. but the other thing we heard from many of you is look, we are tired of having to go to six different agencies and apply for different funding and not be able to have the federal government work in a coordinated, comprehensive way, so we brought together arne duncan and his team and we will bring promised neighborhood funding to help to transform the schools at the same time that you're transforming public housing and other forms of affordable housing. we heard that, you know, if folks don't feel safe and they can't walk the streets the kids can't be out on the playground because they are afraid for their safety we can't be successful in those communities so we brought the department of justice and the cr

the entry stairs for the lower unit would be constructed on the adjacent public property. staff has confirmed that dpw generally supports the stairs and would require a minor improvement permit for construction. sponsors also discussed stairs that would connect mars to corbett avenue. although the stairs are not part of the project, supports the idea because it would increase pedestrian safety in an area that currently has no sidewalks. it is consistent with similar public's airwaves in the neighborhood. the department has received 10 letters of support and one phone call in opposition. most of the correspondence came from neighbors within the immediate neighborhood. the department support the project because it is well- articulated to impact adjacent properties on a level that is reasonable to expect. it is good urban design and does not constitute privatization of public property. this project would not be referred to the commission as it does not contain or create any exceptional circumstances. president olague: at this time, we will hear from the dr requestoer. >> i li

tonight at 11:00, we introduce to you a woman fighting a battle for years, lived in a public housing unit in southwest baltimore tainted with toxic mold. she complained but nothing was done. she sued the housing authority and won. but thanks to a legal loophole her judgment was essentially cut in half. >> you think most people know they need to do that? >> absolutely not. when the people enter into their leases with the housing authority they are told you need -- if you have a maintenance problem you need to contact the maintenance directly and you contact the property manager. >> if that is all you do you could stand to lose a lot if you get hurt. at 11:00, what you need to do to protect yourself if you're having a problem with public housing. >>> the kids are out of school, weather heating up, time to think of vacation. most of us will be surfing the web for the best deal. clicking through pictures of the hotel rooms, feature earth and pools. looks can be deceiving. in our "scam alert" joce sterman tells us why you shouldn't be sold only on the photos. >> reporter: on the internet and i

she lived for six years in a public housing unit in southwest baltimore plagued with toxic mold. she filled out work orders, complained to supervisors but never got action. during that time she was in and out of the hospital. when she finally had enough she sued the city and won. but later her judgment was slashed. based on a maryland law many people probably never heard of. >> people don't know that. i think it's outlandish they get to be held protected, housing authority is protected when they are dealing with people who may not be aware. >> reporter: at 11:00, how much that legal loophole costs and how much the law impacts you as well and what you need to do to protect yourself. os joes, -- joce sterman, abc2 news. >>> it was a miracle on the hudson and thanks to the practicality of engineering, it's on its way to a new home. the fuselage of the u.s. airways jet that crashed into the hudson river a few years ago took a long trip down i-95 today. the plane brought out hundreds of people from new jersey and here in maryland to watch the plane as it makes its way to its new home

public schools. in a home-school, by contrast, children interact in a rich and complex way with adults and children of other ages all the time." you want to be president of the unitedone of the foundational parts of our country, and yet you say that weird socialization is kids being in school with kids their same age? how is that weird socialization? >> where else in america outside of school do kids go to a place where they sit with people basically the same age, same socioeconomic group for a defined period of time? that's not what life is like. you're dealing with a bunch of different people and i think the one-room schoolhouse was an example of interaction. you had sensitivity. i see it in my own family and other children who deal with children of different ages, respect for elders. what i'm saying is that we need to transform public education to reflect more of what the dynamism is in the public sector, and that includes a whole way of infusing parents into the system, a dynamism of having people not stuck in classrooms, sort of the old factory model of how we educate people. >> so, you'd fundamentally overhaul public education and how it's done, how they cong

it will replace 80 out of the 267 public housing units in the neighborhood and construct 27 new affordable units in the first phase of the revitalization effort. the resolution follows a resolution that the board had approved back in march that authorized our office to apply to the california debt limit allocation committee for allocation taxes and bonds for up to $41 million for this project. we received that authority on april 26, and now, we are seeking your authorization to enter into the financing documents to actually use that allocation. typically, our office seeks authorization to issue taxes and multifamily housing revenue bonds. they would be used to be publicly or privately sold or replaced with a bank like citibank, in which they would in turn use the bond proceeds and lend it to an affordable housing developer in the form of a construction loan. citibank prefers that these funds be categorized as loans rather than bonds, which will actually enable citibank to offer more competitive interest rates for the project. consequently, it is an alternative financing structure than we s

public servants understood the need for change and, therefore, they opposed it. the campaign gained momentum in 2006 encouraged by developments in wales where the welsh assembly government to unite the public and nonprofit sectors in planning for asd across government departments. within the u.k. and across the world, the call for national strategies and legislative social change was getting stronger. the creation of the celtic nations autism partnership and the 2007 delegation to washington, d.c. to meet with the cochairs of the autism caucus was part of that movement. it was no accident, therefore, that the autism act is rooted in the realities of our society. it is unique to our situation and in the aspirations of the families here. yet, it is an example of one mechanism that is available to many societies in addressing fundamental human rights and the inequalities when the state is resistant about its legislation. there's little doubt that the changes brought by the northern ireland about the definition of disability will reverberate across the other jurisdictions within the u.k. and the republic of ireland. if the autism act northern ireland initiates legislative change bey
