the southeast, and specifically in district 10, home of the city's four largest public housing units, public and subsidized housing units like those at alice griffith and hunters view have hundreds of outstanding work orders for fixing backed up sewage lines, pest extermination and lots and lots of black mold. i regularly receive calls from constituents who were wee located by our public housing system into sub par units that have holes in the wall, broken shower rods, where requests to remove mold are met with simply repainting over the mold until the mold grows again. if they do what most of us would do, quite frankly, those of us that are in stable housing, we would call the building manager. we would get someone out there to make the repairs immediately. concerned that we would be putting our family in harm's way. well, we would also withhold rent. but what's happening is that when public housing residents make a complaint, oftentimes they're met with eviction papers. when you think about how to invest the dollars, it's funding, a one-time capital expense, i'm asking you how do you prior

. >> i'm with united public workers for action. there's a lot of negotiations coming up with city workers this year, and i would hope that if you will give four and a half% to the managers of these agencies, you would have it as a minimum for the workers of the city and county of san francisco so when they come into negotiation, you should remember what you are doing here and awarding these increases to managers in the city and county of san francisco. >> thank you for that comments. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, comments are closed with regards to the last speaker , this is not a city agency. this is a subdivision of the state of california, and number 2, in the previous item, our salary structure has been revised such that actually the executive director his' pay raise is less than the pay raise for the rank and file for the six member or f.t.e. authorized member agency that is the transportation authority. thank you for that comments. is there a motion to move item 16, made by commissioner cohen, seconded

i'm with united public workers for action. the idea of tolls has not been brought to the people of san francisco, the residents of san francisco. many of you are in districts in which the residents don't know about the dangers of the tolls, which you're pushing, and haven't been told about it. frankly, i don't think that this is just an issue for the people on treasure island. i think it's an issue for the people of san francisco. i don't know if we have to go to the ballot to stop this. i don't think that the people of san francisco want tolls on public land. i believe it's further privitazation that you are pushing that has to stop. >> supervisor kim: thank you so much. any other members of the public that would like to speak on the minutes of october 23, 2018? seeing none, public comment is now closed. mr. clerk, can you please call item 5? >> clerk: we can take roll -- >> supervisor kim: sorry, can we take roll on item 4? [roll call vote] >> clerk: we have final approval. >> supervisor kim: thank you so much. can you pleas

. >> you -- i'm with united public workers for action. this is the second hearing. we have heard the same report from the director of human resources that she is working on its. i think people have to be accountable. that is part of what your job is and the mayor's job. when somebody is causing -- costing the city $70 million in settlements to workers who have been illegally discriminated against, their lawyers and the city's lawyers, who will pay the cost of that? who is accountable? you voted on those settlements. those that were here. you voted on settlements. was there a question made about -- where those managers and executives held accountable for illegally acting against its he workers, public workers? that question has never been asked. there is a national systemic attack on african-american workers and public service -- in public service jobs. it is going on throughout the country. it is not just san francisco. we are purging african-american workers from their jobs in public cities. part of that period has to do with outsourcing consultants and privatizati

well i don't think a great deal i think might prompt a oh who was a former united states public congressmanwho then became cia director now secretary of state she is the trump they tend to be on the same wavelength when it comes to much u.s. foreign policy unlike pompei its predecessor rex hillerman a former chief executive of exxon mobil who clash recombining with trump and also very much isolated his own spokesperson heather nauert who for a pure long period of time believe travel around the world with taylor says now this change in the park peo regime but it isn't likely that they would restructure the job so it's no longer a cabinet level that's quite possible and there is a great there's a great deal of logic but the united states u.n. ambassador sensually reported to the secretary of state i wouldn't be surprised do you think the president trying to is trying to send a message to the u.n. by the support meant and choosing a former fox news anchor rather than someone who perhaps has had more foreign policy experience in terms of sending a message about u.s. foreign diplomacy. well i th

united states as a matter of framing. if you got this message message across to the public united states what work. well i think one of the issues with framing the issue of climate change is that for so long it has been focused on doomsday scenarios on trying to scare people into action which has it works that message has been -- the main argument for decades and i think what we need to do now is really focused on building a better future rather than how will we pay to clean up this mess one interesting initiative that's being done in british columbia and canada. is a re casting a carbon tax as a carbon dividend where - businesses are paying in for their carbon emissions that money has been being funneled back to residents in the form of a check. every quarter or year many of that type of new thinking i think could be interesting for other industrialized countries to pursue that the the transition will actually be profitable for me as an individual it's always a good way. to like the easiest way to get that communicated missile defective way doesn't it while the u. n. climate conference in the poli

gracefully belief that there is already a thing for the united states is that a matter of framing if you've got this mission message across to the public united states work. well i think one of the issues with framing the issue of climate change is that for so long it has been focused on doomsday scenarios on trying to scare people into action which has it works that message has been the main argument for decades and i think what we need to do now is really focus on building a better future rather than how will we pay to clean up this mass one interesting initiative that's being done in british columbia canada is a recasting a carbon tax as a carbon dividend where businesses are paying in for their carbon emissions that money is then being funneled back to the residence in the form of a check every quarter or year where they're actually them seeing that money that type of new thinking i think could be interesting for other industrialized countries to pursue the transition watchfully be profitable for me as an individual it's always a good way to convince people that money was like the easiest way to get there communicated and sold effe

drugs my sister just with doing drugs it was like an epidemic of drug abuse america's public enemy number one in the united states is drug abuse he started going after the users in the prison population sewer we started treating sick people people who are addicted to these drugs like criminals while i was on the hill. then the war on drugs was a mistake there are countless numbers of people who are in prison for. sentencing this for minor minor offenders in the drug trade it's a lot watching your children grow up and miss you in waves and say by daddy as you're walking out of a business it's just it doesn't get easier. this is like my first one working with the government having the soldiers on board and all first time about that's completely different usually we have no real. way of enforcing our authority you know we have authority from the united nations charter for nature that's about it. because you look at any country in the world where there are none of them are going up they're all stable which is the few that are stable most of them are and because the methods of fishing are so efficient now. ther

certainly supposed to be an honor to serve the people of this country as president of the united states. >> public service is a noble calling. serving others is what a lot of life ought to be about. >> is i am profoundly grateful to you for twice giving me the honor to serve. >> it has been the privilege of a lifetime to serve as your president. i have been blessed to represent this nation we love. >> it has been the honor of my life to serve you. i won't stop. in fact, i will be right there with you as a citizen for all my remaining days. >> you heard his predecessors, but what is president trump saying? >> it's a nasty job because i get hit so hard, so unfairly, by so many many, and, i mean, really unfairly. >> to be president of the united states is a nasty job, the president of united states of america, leader of the free world. kind of says it all, doesn't it? the trump inaugural committee under investigation, donald trump, himself, relieved to be, revealed, i should say, to be in the room for that august 2015 meeting about hush money payments. we got a lot to talk about. evan perez, ann milg

. >>> joining me for more, legal analyst paul butler, former prosecutor who worked in the public integrity unit. and contributor megan tuohy, an investigative reporter at the "new york times." part of the reason i ask the question is it is -- so anyone who engages in this conduct knows it is self-incriminating. >> let's start how it evolved. it started out as he didn't know about the hush money, which was a lie. then he said it was a personal transaction, which is different from what the criminal law says. now, he is blaming michael cohen, the lawyer. and it is true that the prosecutor would have to prove willful intent, that president knew that he was breaking the law. but there's so much evidence of that, including the coverup. they disguise these payments as legal payments to michael cohen, which they were not. there's forensic evidence. the tapes that cohen made of his client, texts and e-mails. then there is eyewitness testimony from people like david pecker. so it is not just michael cohen who is stating that the president coordinated and directed this. the justice department co-signed th

by those who oppose russia so much so the washington examiner a publication in the united states went as far as to call for the bridge to be blown up it's interesting that there was not then widespread condemnation of the washington examiner but regardless so we also have recently heard the united states promising to send more weapons to kiev and furthermore we did see another resolution voted on now the united states voted in favor of the resolution condemning russia however they voted against a resolution put forward by russia to condemn naziism in fact the united states and ukraine were the only two countries to vote against that resolution opposing nazis so pretty clear differences in the international community displayed in the debate and passing of resolutions today at the u.n. general assembly legal analyst we spoke to thinks that u.n. resolutions are all about blokes that allies political games not only are we seen a lot of animosity and feelings coming up but we're also seeing a lot of political moves as you can see with some of these other resolutions that seem to be kind of

. >> the president of the united states using his public twitter account to try to influence witnessesle who have pled guilty within the mueller probe. to me, smells pretty fishy. >> reporter: the fury with presidential praise to former confidant roger stone. he said he would never testify against the president. >> i'd have to make things up and i'm not going to do that. >> reporter: president trump tweeting," it's nice to know some people still have guts." >> i think the president is swimming in very dangerous waters here. you don't have to read too far between the lines to know what he means. >> reporter: court filings may reveal the details robert mueller learned about people once in donald trump's orbit. like cohen, former national security adviser michael flynn. here on capitol hill, there is a different kind of drama. the scramble to avoid a partial government shutdown over a stalemate on border wall money but late tonight, multiple house leadership sources tell nbc news there is an agreement for a two-week extension, which puts in the deadline the week before christmas. >>> to t
