The next cup of my mom marnie and then she died life. Of lung cancer. So i have a personal interest in helping prevent smoking. Im tom steyer, the cochair of the yes on 56 campaign. Every year, nearly 17,000 California Kids start smoking. A third of them will die from their addiction. Tobacco taxes reduce youth smoking. Please. Vote yes on prop 56. If we can save even a few lives, its worth it. That sinking 58story Millennium Tower is stirring up more issues in the city of San Francisco. And now city officials are looking at issues with a nearby project that was actually scrapped years ago because it was projected to sink 11 inches. Abc 7 News Reporter vic lee joining us live in san frncisco investigation into the sinking skyscraper. Vic . Reporter well, larry, of course this is certainly troubling to supervisor aaron peskin who is trying to get to the bottom of all of this. What happened to the sinking at Millennium Tower . And this revelation, of course, has huge implications. Why was one building approved and the other scrubbed . I mean, how many feet asmart 301 Mission Street . Reporter the committees second hearing is still focused on whether developers himmium partners concealed information about the tilting and sinking from those who bought luxury condos. The 45story high rise on 301 mission is sinking 16 inches and tilting several inches to the northwest. Supervisor Aaron Peskins other target is the Citys Department of building inspections. Did the city agency know about the unexpected settling . If so, when did it know and what did the agency do about it . Peskin asked a range of questions to building inspection officials who said they recently issued two notices of violations on the Millennium Tower which peskin called minor. The supervisor said hes still waiting for the agency to take corrective action and report back on which other buildings in the area are also settling more than expected. Peskin said he had learned that a planned high rise at 80 natoma was scrapped by city inspectors in 2004 when they learned it would sink, some 11 inches. Everybody knew that 301 mission was suffering from all the same technical problems that 80 natoma was suffering from yet at exactly the same time that the city turns down 80 natoma the same set of players actually approve a building with a very Similar Foundation just a few hundred feet away. Then there was this revelation. Interestingly enough some of the geotechnical engineers that were used in that project are the same geotechnical engineers here. Reporter well, the hearing which was held here, of course, at city hall adjourned after about two and a half hours. Three building inspection officials testified. Now, there were some new documents that were released today by the Building Inspection Department of department of building inspection and we will, of course, go through them and well comb through them to see if there are any nuggets to report later on. Vic lee, abc 7 news. Vic, since the story broke in august and then we had the haitian by peskin and they began, have there been any changes of the department of building inspection as to how they deal with developers proposing projects . Reporter well, there was one significant change, one recent significant change, and that is in the past all of the peer reviews were done by a panel which also included a consultant that was hired by the developer and now theres changes that all of the consultants on that panel will be hired by the city and not no consultant from the developers. All right. Well, that would seem to make more sense. Vic, thank you. Moving on, green days bass player is celebrating a major green milestone for coffee lovers.
