and this is dog walker training that is specific to what it is to be a dog walker in the city of san francisco. >> and this is just where i want to jump in because the business owners who are not walking dogs themselves in they are running an operation and they have dog walkers under them and they or some other type of business that employs dog walkers some of the boarding facilities do those kinds of things they are not required to do or get a permit if they are not actually, the permit goes with the individual who is walking the dog so for the enforcement purposes of this legislation you have to be able to produce a permit upon request to park, patrol or whatever it is. >> moving along, we are going to talk about the fees, it is $240 initial set up fee. and $100, annual renewal fee for permits, dog walker permits, if you lose your badge there will be a $50 id badge replacement and it expires every year on 3/31 and so that is as requested by the tax treasurer tax collector's office and if commercial dog walker training is required, this is what you must do in order to get that certi

and so, if the dog walker now does not have a license for the dog, we will issue a citation now. and an owner could come in and remedy it and it goes away but that is how it is done and that is only method of doing it and we can't track down the owners and the same will be the case and we have talked a lot in the out reach with the dog walkers about providing the information to the owners that we have created part of the website to educate, consumers so that they understand more why it is there. but, it is what it is. it is not... i as far as i know, we are not doing the enforcement and i would highly doubt that they would be asking to see the license and it is driven by some issue that comes up. >> any other commissioner comments? >> i want to make a comment as a dog owner and frequent going to places with many dog walkers that i know all of the responsible dog walk rs that they are expressed that they are happy with this, there is someone new every time that i go and they are out of control and the dogs are running away and you know, but, i mean, many of the dog walkers are ext

scott walker has done things.art of the gubernatorial faction in the 2016 field the list includes christie and jindal. walker not only has executive experience, he used executive authority to achieve a goal conservatives, to break the hold public employee unions have on government in many states." ed schultz fought that fight on our network all the way through. scott walker might be the bridge between the chris christies and the people on the other side, the ted cruzes, because he's from part of the country your party has to win, the midwest. >> byron gets stories nobody else does. this was one of them. what i look at is, who's going to come out of iowa? there's going to be three, four people out of it. if it was today, you'd have rand paul, rick santorum, and you would have scott walker. all of them fit the bill of somebody who will resonate all across the state and do well and all of a sudden you're off to the races. i think a lot of these other people you mentioned are going to have trouble playing in iowa. >>

scott walker, you know, had this very -- >> are you serious?-- hard fight in wisconsin. >> are you serious? do you expect me to buy that? do you really think he's the same intellectually as the other two candidates? >> what i'm saying, listen, what i'm saying is, until someone gets out there on a national stage, i mean, people were writing columns going on and on about how rick perry was going to waltz in and walk away with the nomination in iowa and every place else. i mean, you remember those columns, chris. >> i know, and i know it was premature because both were not ready for primetime. scott walker has been through the fights with schultz and the labor unions. i've gotten a good look at the guys. i don't think he's a lightweight. >> i'm not saying he's a lightweight. that's a long way to go from being a competitive national candidate. i'm not sure iowa is the be all and end all. >> you're reminding me more and more of jack germond in the old days. the politico guy who says, well, you know, it's way early there, martin, it's too early to ma

. >> each walker is required to if they are walking or running their own business, but they must have a business license, if they are a working for a company, the way that it worked with the tax collector is that in order to allow each person to have a permit that comes up and each person has to be an independent contractor and so it is an $26 fee to be a independent contractor, and the number is determined by how many employees that you may have and they have to get that business license and then, but as far as the license goes, and all of that, they can use their employers. >> and what about the badge? i am curious as someone who goes to chrisy field every day and i see what it is like for the dog walkers and kind of a rough and tumble business that they are in. what kind of badge are they are going to have that they will not lose or i saw the $50 fee for replace it. >> we are issuing and taking a while to get this program up and into place and this is sort of like the city ids and if you have seen those and the plastic badges that have a template and the picture and all of that and

scott walker, small. but another republican governor elected in the same tea party way is actually giving scott walker a run for his smallness. get this. it's one thing to blacklist a million people in the state and bar them from public service because you have decided they are your enemies. but how about the governor of a state deciding that three of the largest newspapers in his state are no longer allowed to cover state government? he's issued a government-wide blanket, indefinite no comment on all matters in all agencies for state government. newspapers are no longer allowed to government cover the government because the newspapers made him feel bad. if you thought scott walker was small for blacklisting a kid who signed the recall petition, scott walker has nothing on this other guy. this story is mind bending and has just started to unfold and we have it here, next. >> my comments going to be we withdrew the nomination and there are plenty of other candidates to look at. i wasn't involved in that di
