Up a chair because for the next 30 minutes we investigate, tough questions, holder the powerful accountable and Critical Issues uncovered here in the bay area. We begin with Airport Security. We all remember the story, a teen stowing away in the wheel well of a flight to hawaii from San Jose International. It happened during the Early Morning hours of a day in april.

International airport. And its allowed. Im not really comfortable with the concept of a system like airport security. Reporter its exactly why this Blue Ribbon Task force was created back in 2002, to find technologydriven solutions that would make airports safer. It found weak control of the airport workforce due to inconsistent standards, uneven oversight and poor enforcement that could potentially allow for unauthorized individuals to get in. You see, some airport workers go back and forth fro...

Shower for that afternoon and i will walker future cast 4 coming up. The time is 7 00 a. M. We have been coasting and hot spot free. That has changed suddenly. We have a multi vehicle accident on the nimitz freeway 880 northbound. This is creating a visual hazard for the southbound and likely starting to back up the corridor. The nimitz freeway, a 80 northbound, this minor accident is blocking the left lane of Market Street. It is backing up the traffic into downtown oakland from 29 in the north...

Explore it, but when cost came into play and it made it cost prohibitive, that ultimately was the determinant of you not doing it, different than its just something as a policy we are not going to do. So, you did entertain it enough that it was an idea. Absolutely. Explore it and brought it back the commission engaged in a conversation and explored whether it was a policy decision. As i mentioned, its was not my call. I did Due Diligence and bring it to the commission for full discussion on whet...

Arent going to be supporting us. I understand what youre saying, commissioner. Its not a matter of supporting. Its not taking a stance on any given issue. Its simply providing the information that then the commission lib rates on. So, can i ask well, first of all, i want to bring this up as a former member of the Library Commission.

I did just that. Thats why it came back. And i also felt that because of the expenditure involved, it would be their judgment, their call and policy determination to do that. So, i felt that was, again, doing Due Diligence in having a full public hearing on that matter and they did that. And, again, it was a 60 vote not to do it because they felt they were not in violation and they got some attorney, City Attorney advice and also i mean, the brown act and sunshine ordinance did not prescribe a s...

The only way now they can do it is come in with hard copy or something and hold it up and put it in the record. And it would seem to me that if you invite somebody in support and somebody comes to you and says, we would like to be invited even though were not going to support you, no, we wont invite you because you arent going to be supporting us. I understand what youre saying, commissioner. Its not a matter of supporting. Its not taking a stance on any given issue. Its simply providing the inf...

Sense. That is what the whole basis of the chapter 2 versus 3 thing was. I think i would be better with three positive votes needed to make a finding that there was a violation. So even if it requires three votes to find a violation, you can still hold the person to the burden, if they didnt meet their burden, then you go the other way. Although it does play out in the same ways that we have talked about. I also would not substitute there was a suggestion at one point to substitute the finding o...

That the situation can only get more acute. Even though we had great deal of success after 2011 adoption of street bonds of fixing our streets. We are still in a situation that over 50 of our streets are in need of paving. That has impact in safety and costs. People spend several hundreds dollars a year repairing their cars from our streets.
