I was watching cuties, well be weighing in on that throughout the week. Did you catch the game . I watched a lot of it. I had a chance to watch the jets. Still waiting for their offense. This is fascinating for me, because i think even football insiders, everyone thought what happens if you dont play any preseason games. How what do you need from the preseason games . After all its tackle football, so many people get hurt in games that dont matter and some of the teams looked great and some of them looked terrible. The rams looked great. What about tom brady . Were looking at tom brady, 50 million. Was he 50 million worth of quarterback. I think he was fine. He had a few passes he wanted back. Hes playing against one of the best teams in football. The saints are so talented. So anyway, were sure that you probably watched some of the football on fox yesterday. We thank you for that. Now its time to watch fox news. We start with a fox news alert. Two california deputies who were ambushed
What the outcome will be. And as i said earlier, and i probably shouldnt repeat it, but i find this more embarrassing for the country than debilitating for my ability to get started. President trump is out of sight again today, the second straight workday without any Public Events on his schedule, as the president elect is getting a National Security briefing, not from intelligence officials but from outside Foreign Policy experts. Joining me now, nbc White House Correspondents Kristen Welker and peter alexander, cohosts of weekend today, of course. Kristen in wilmington, peter at the white house. Kristen, first of all, the president elect, his team, are looking forward to this transition planning, not waiting for the white house, going ahead with a National Security briefing, not based on intelligence or official intelligence. Reporter andrea, thats right, and part of what youre going to see today, we expect to see biden in a spray, is really aimed at underscoring that point that you
To sfmta. Is there no deferred maintenance here and other garages that it would be more appropriately used for . Well, thats what this bond issuance is for, in terms of an mta wide, so we can address concerns related to all the garages, not just japan center. Or Sutter Stockton. So, that is our main concern, is that knowing that not only this garage needs improvements, but citywide as well. I understand that, but that seems to me like youre taking bond money, then, and transferring it through a wheel to operational expenses. To the budget analyst analyst. Mr. Chair, as we understand it, the bonds that have been issued are taking care of their Capital Improvement needs. So, this in effect winds up as surplus and can be transferred for operating expenditures to the mta. So, theyre not short changing their Capital Needs as we understand it. Thank you, i appreciate that. I guess my question is but by issuing the debt, you say youre not short changing the Capital Needs, but tame point in ti
Was to maintain the vitality of these shopping district, neighborhood district, and that commitment still stands today with the nonprofit board that i serve under, ive been privileged to serve under because they really are committed to bettering the community for which these garages are residing in. And one example i wanted to give you as far as really trying to quantify the knowledge and experience and commitment, retail [speaker not understood]. Im happy to say were fully occupied and theres no vacancies at the Sutter Stockton garage currently with about 11 retail spaces. We conducted the last three retail leases with no brokers fees. We were with the experience of our nonprofit board. We continue to have full occupancy in our retail and thats because of their knowledge and experience in business, in the community. And i really want to urge you to approve this item. Thank you. Supervisor mar. I had a question. I know the community makeup for the Japantown Center nonprofit [speaker no
Surplus and can be transferred for operating expenditures to the mta. So, theyre not short changing their Capital Needs as we understand it. Thank you, i appreciate that. I guess my question is but by issuing the debt, you say youre not short changing the Capital Needs, but tame point in time youre [speaker not understood] and youre issuing bonds against it for operational expenses. Youre floating bonds to float for operational expenses which we should not be doing. Youre correct in that sense. Well, our mta operating budget also supports the repayment of the bonds itself. For garage operations in terms of the capital improvements, we would be doing the same amount of work there as well in term of what would be available. Okay. Thanks. And to mr. Reiskin, just one more question. Obviously, and i absolutely understand this board and number of Restaurant Owners that weve gone through quite a bit and love the restaurants and people are involved in the community have influence and i think
