This is an action item. Commissioner breed . Thank you. I just wanted to make a few comments about the out reach, i know that we all received the draft, out reach plan which definitely is a great plan, and i am looking forward to the final plan for distribution. And for this particular, for the tep, in particular, we are spending a significant amount of money, on out reach.

Better, for people who are vulnerable, whether it is a person with a baby in a stroller, and a toddler, and having to cross an extra couple of intersections whether it is a senior or a person with a disability. We are not hearing any answers, there is an avoidance. The fact that this is meant for engineering design, was used last week and saying that figuratively some of these concerns dont matter, but the packet that you have before you shows the specific stops being eliminated and so the money is going to go towards eliminating stops and that is something that nobody has adequately addressed. And you are going along, a path that may in the future be dangerous and i am going to say it again, it could open up the city, for liability, because you are just not addressing these safety questions. Thank you, for your comments, next speaker please . Yes, my name is jackie sacks and i want to echo what he just said about regarding eliminating the stops and everything, but one thing that you a

Yes, my name is jackie sacks and i want to echo what he just said about regarding eliminating the stops and everything, but one thing that you are not taking into consideration, you are not taking into consideration, the people that work. That when they did the tep, they decided that they should stop buses at midnight, and this sort of thing and they should eliminate, and they should, reroute the buses, and without taking into consideration, the senior and disabled community, the people that worked out, and the work in the hotel and restaurant for one or two a. M. , and before the tep, there were many, many workshops and that sort of thing, talking about this. And i spoke on it at every single one of them. We are not taking into consideration if it aint broke dont fix it. But they did not, they totally ignored that and they totally ignored the senior disabled community and the people that work swing and graveya

True. I think its irresponsible for any leaders from washington to indicate that america would default and not pay our debt.

Joining me California Democratic congresswoman jackie speier. Congresswoman, great to have you here. And you were at the white house yesterday with your colleagues. And House Republicans there headed there today. You tweeted that the president said that there are reasons to be optimistic in all of this. And a senior gop aide is telling nbc news that House Republicans plan to unveil this new clean sixweek debt ceiling increase. So are we looking at a deal brewing and being ready to be displayed within days . I think we are. And its good news for the american workers. Its good news for the american economy, and hopefully it will keep us from doing the absolute worst thing that could happen to our country. So its
