This city. Its almost exclusively to the detriment of traditional san franciscans, and clearly its a sign that our community as a Victorian Community was much better equipped to preserve itself, its community and its culture and something happened after the Victorian Community whereby we started to divest interest in our culture in our community and you folks really manifest that by eroding our constitutional rights, violating our city and civic rights at every turn and youve done that in a very efficient and effective manner, master manipulators would be a good name to call you. Ive never seen our parks and our city in such a depressing, dilapidated and disinterested condition as they are right now. You might as well hang a sign saying dont come to San Francisco, make a turn elsewhere because theyre so pathetic when you see people driving atvs in a park that youre supposed to go to, to get away from traffic and you see the rec and Park Department driving around in cars and atvs in the

331 of these counties are represented by republicans. And 18 are split between the two parties. From that impersistent poverty should matter to all of us, regardless of party, geography, or race and ethnicity. In early 2009 when we were putting to the the recovery act, i proposed language to require at least 10 of funds in Rural Development account to be directed to projects in these persistent poverty counties. This requirement was enacted in law. In light of the definition of persistent poverty counties having at least 20 poverty rates over 30 years, this position became known as the 102030 initiative. This provision bore dividends, as Economic Development projects proliferated in persistent poverty counties across the country. The recovery act funded a total of 4,655 projects in persistent poverty counties totalling 1. 7 billion. I saw firsthand the positive effects of these efforts in my congressional district. Projects were undertaken that would have otherwise gone lacking, and jo
Ever was employed at the fcc. We have a working group where we have to actually get to the conclusions about the administrative process reforms. We have got to do that so he can start writing is ordered in may so the order can come out out in june that establishes the new administrative processes and that also talks about how the fcc is going to be spending its money in the next cycle.

That is what we have had to do just because of the constant pressure but that is not what the fcc is telling us. This fcc is saying instead of looking at it as a x dollars every single year why did you, and tell us we will bunch a whole bunch of money right up front. It will be a Capital Expenditure the way john has been talking about it. More money up front once and for all put fiber to all these ill
Measure is a job. And many of us believe that if someone works hard all day, all year around, that he or she should be able to earn enough to keep their family out of poverty. Thats why the president and democrats in congress have proposed to raise the minimum wage, which has less purchasing power today than when harry truman was president. And according to the Congressional Budget Office, that measure would lift over 1 million hardworking americans out of poverty and raise low wages for another 15 million working americans. Here in the house, speaker boehners refused to even allow a vote on that measure to raise the minimum wage just as he continues to refuse a vote to extend emergency Unemployment Compensation to 3 million americans. But we all know that even if we raise the minimum wage, huge challenges remain. And we must examine the past to chart the best way forward. A january report from the council of economic advisers did just that. It found that about 50 million americans rem
