Its been between 2025 . Commissioner veronese im talking about the losses. Is it possible that we have lost a billion dollars over 10 years . Potentially yes, the amount of writeoffs and adjustments to that degree. Yeah. Youre in that neighborhood. Why are we giving out free healthcare to people if were not looking to get it back. Theres probably a huge number of the population a that is homeless and we just started tracking the homeless related calls and should give us more data on what the numbers probably look like. But this is almost a third of the budget. We have a long wish list of things we would like to have. We wouldnt have to go to the Mayors Office and begging for extra things if we actually had this. This is a third of our budget. Im not saying this is on you, im not accusing you of doing this, but there has to be a better way of doing business where were losing over 10 years, billions of dollars. Like give it to them for free because it should be a service we have or actua

They think it is a good idea idea to amendd the constitution and, if so, why. Republicans, 202 7488001. Democrats, 202 7488000. Independents, 202 7488002. You can catch up with us on facebook, twitter, or email. A very good monday morning to you. Written in 1787, ratified in 1788, in operation since 1789, the United States constitution is our longest surviving document of government. How would you amend it . The phone numbers are on the screen. The subject was brought up by a recent National Journal story. All of the contenders want to change the constitution.

Monopoly using article 5 to restore freedom and run away government. Good morning to you. Good morning. Could you talk about what article 5 says and what it offers sfargs power to the states when it comes to the constitution . Yeah. Its a really interesting story, kornl george mason having the discussion on our constitution stood up and said we made a grievous error. We have to make sure that because nowhere in history have powerful governments seeded power back to the people. We need to make sure thats available to the american people. So they put this second component into article 5, which allows the states two thirds of the states to call an Amendments Convention. Its not a Constitutional Convention, but its an Amendments Convention where the states can offer amendments which are nothing but recommendations that
