People we are going to have to do something about this. We see ceqa impede transit investment and transit advances whether its a Shuttle Program or all man or Public Transportation project. We are seeing the California Environmental quality act being used to delay and defeat Public Transit and transportation projects that will lead to cleaner air and will get cars off the road. We should not contribute to that trend with that appeal. This appeal does not have merit.

I would be supporting the motion. Supervisor chiu . Thank you. Let me first start by thanking all the members of the public who have stuck around for 7 hours.

Human rights say it has evidence fighters of Islamic State in iraq and the levant killed up to 190 men after taking tikrit this month. Mike viqueira is live for us at the white house with more on these developments.
