Higher costs for Prescription Drugs, higher costs for preventative services, reduced benefits and a Medicare Program that would go bankrupt nearly ten years sooner. The Affordable Care act is working to help seniors with their expenses and keep the costs of health care down. We need to improve and build on the progress the law has made, not argue over tearing it down. Because this shouldnt be about politics. This should be about keeping the promise that we made to our seniors. Its about building...

Ginsburg, why would we bother to go there . I think that the. If we are not going to do anything to him and not having any finding of willfulness, why would we need to get into a big discussion about that . Well, i mean, i think that the preliminary question before the commission is whether he personally engaged in a violation of the ordinance, willful or nonwillful and so i think that that is something, that is a question that is squarely before the commission. Do we have to answer that . I mea...

The government. But it also goes on to talk about the fact that there is a high bar if you are going to not disclose the information and i just made the determination that it is private and he has not shown us anything different and he is going to have to show us something important. And so everything is flipped on its head leer. Any other questions, or do you want to respond to that . I would like to point out that we dont just rely on the government guide we rely on the advice of the council a...

Other than general manager ginsburg that is beyond the scope of what tonight is for. I have a question for mr. Pilpal. And i agree with mr. White on that last point. You said that it was your view of the task force that there was a problem with naming mr. Ginsbuger and could you elaborate on your rationale for that . First the initial underlying complaint was against miss gong and she is the person that appeared at the various hearings and after the order was made and came back to the full task ...

Wrong, we may have had a different conversation, i dont know the out come of that conversation, but our assertion of the privacy rights was bolstered by the fact that we felt that the alleged injustice was sort of in hand, if that makes sense. And so. Any other questions for miss ballard . Or mr. Warren . If i may, mr. Chair, there have been a number of references to the City Attorneys Good Government guide and the references have been on page 89 of our appendix. And the part relating to privacy...

Case in hand but primarily that the issue that mr. Maionchi was attempting to shed light on was already being addressed there was a transfer of a birth from an existing owner who was delinquent on his rent, to a new ownership group. And essentially the existing owner tried to inaudible the new owners and sell him something and actually transfer the boat or the birth. Through the work of our harbor master working with his exwife and the coast guard was able to remedy that situation and the rightf...

Find a nonwillful violation or a willful violation but i dont think that tonight, you can find a nonwillful violation by someone else in the rec and Park Department. Base ed on the chapter three, we could find the nonwillful violation of mr. Ginsburg. Right. Under three, the votes of at least three commissioners are required to make a finding that they have created a willful violation or a nonwillful violation. But i think that if you are going to talk about someone other than general manager gi...

Department head is under different rules and regulations that is where we need to, that is why we are under Chapter Three and the burden is on the complainant, and so on and so forth. If this is a nonwillful violation by someone, who is not a Department Head, and then the sunshine ordinance the task force, will make their decision, and refer the matter and it is going to be presumed that it is a violation, unless the respondent carries the burden that it is not. And so i think that the upshot of...
