Art college. I support this plan as a whole, although there are a few issues that i clearly have. And one of the things that i want to be clear about as a major supporter of the arts is that, you know, academy of art has been, you know, a bit of a problem in the city in general and im very concerned about the way that theyve been doing byness and their impacts on residential neighborhoods in particular. I know that were looking at carving out a, i guess, grandfathering in the academy of art coll...

On ninth or 10th street if you have a cafe there and you want to have a guitar player and get a lp, Live Performance permit. These are concerns that i have that will not allow me to support the plan today. I do want to acknowledge the people who have worked on the Community Process leading up to this plan. I know a lot of people put a lot of work into it and im very appreciative of that. I do know there are people who were not part of the process and some people who felt that they had to leave t...

To do something to it, is very difficult. Narrator two Massive Underground tunnels, called simply tunnel 1 and tunnel 2, provide most of the citys water supply. They run hundreds of feet below manhattan, far deeper than the subways. Built at the beginning of the 20th century, they are concretelined and bored through solid rock. They could last centuries. But the mechanical equipment within them will not. Engineers in the 1950s discovered rust on the tunnels valves. There were concerns that if th...

I will amend it with my substitute which is based on the text of the leahycollins bill. I assume there is no objection to the substitute. Its a bill without objection. The bill as amended by the substitute is now opened for further discussion and amendment. If i could, i would start the discussion. Before i make a statement, i think i have not talked to senator sessions. I talked to senator cornyn. You folks want to make statements overall or youre ready to go to straw purchasing bill . Its on t...

Narrator stretching more than 60 miles under the city, tunnel 3 is taking generations of workers to complete. Ryan i dont even want to imagine what my father had to go through. When we first started, it was a rough job. Everything was dynamite. Now, they have these machines called moles. Its like a big drill, and it just cuts right through the ground. So theres no more dynamite. And its still a rough job, but its gotten to a point where its a lot safer. In the 70s, we lost a man a mile basically...

Narrator while the Water Infrastructure provides for our health, safety, and economy, a growing concern is that the Value Society derives from water has not traditionally been reflected in the price we pay for water. Man when you take a look at how much people pay for water, as a percentage of median household income, its usually less than 1 . And when you compare that to how much we pay for electricity and gas, cable tv, and internet, the bottom line is, in the United States, we dont pay a heck...

Engineers in the 1950s discovered rust on the tunnels valves. There were concerns that if they closed the valves for tunnel inspections, they may never open again, leaving new york city without water. So they chose to keep them open. As a result, there has not been significant inspection, maintenance, or repair of the tunnels in decades. No one knows their current condition. Hurwitz currently, city tunnel 1 and city Tunnel Number 2 would be feeding each half of the city. So youd lose half the ci...

Garvin but the rates that are being charged for water are insufficient to replace existing systems and to expand existing systems. Narrator because original Infrastructure Investments were frequently subsidized by the federal government, Water Pricing was often calculated without accounting for the initial cost to build the systems. We made Major Investments in assets in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. And for the first 40 years of that pipe, there really may not have been many maintenance requirements. ...

Services at the va. Last time i checked, you dont die waiting on a lie at disney. You do die waiting for care, and people who go to a park on a lark are very different than people who put it on the line for this country so the folks like you and me can go to a park on a lark. Wow. Ive covered washington and bureaucrats for decade now and heard some doozies but this is at the top of the doozie list. And as a quick p. S. , secretary, the disney folks do closely monitor those who wait on line. That...
