Tax issue. Subsequently, 17 regions actually made the corresponding decision in the development of the law adopted by the state duma, but unconditionally. It would be right to think about on how to compensate a region for lost income, not all regions are able to make Tax Deductions. We see this as an investment Tax Deduction and we could think about providing this deduction in the form of writing off the accumulated debt of the regions for the corresponding amount. Uh, before the federal budget, the ministry of finance is now developing such mechanisms, you could think about how the companys expenses for education. Eh, thus support.

Here are some companies, well, phosagro directly invested 6 billion in 10 years, tmk e 1. 5 billion. E companies such as rosatom Russian Railways gazprom neftin
Credibility and accountability and will tip to do so. Do you have another question. Im going to make a quick note on that. And see if dan agrees. Afghanistan is going from a fairly corrupt patronage system to a system which will be professional, transparent and noncorrupt. That is a long hard road to travel. And if president ghani moves too fast he will break his politics. And he will cause so many groups to be disgruntled with him and organize against him. So we have to be patient and recognize that this kind of transition is very difficult. Hes got to be on that road he has to be convincing of the afghan people, but we have to give him a little slack. Because if he moves too fast and breaks his politics and we lose the government, then we lose the possibility of moving to a professional, transparent and nonrupt system and go back to the old afghanistan and that is not good for anybody. Sorry. And i absolutely concur with that. And i guess finally the last question on reconciliation a
Example, out of trenton, where an in mate by the name of sean washington in 2013 he was a clerk at the library and he wanted to leave the library to go bring some legal papers to one of the other inmates but a corrections officer said you cannot leave and the facts are disputed but the worst facts, the facts that the state claims, is that mr. Washington then said mother fer, dont tell me what to do. What was his punishment . 90 days in solitary confinement. That is a real example we see all across the nation. So just for time. So we know that people are being sent to solitary for many Different Reasons and some of them have to do with administrative issues and the like. Right. Does it work in terms of somehow effecting the behavior of prison str any is there any productive value in the bureau of prisons. Im going to push back on the language they use and some people are sent to solitary for administrative reasons and that is a loaded term because the bureau of prisons commonly call sol
Good morning. This hearing will come to order. Let me just say im really looking forward to this one. I was telling the witnesses, i have read all the testimony. And i generally do that as best of my ability. Sometimes the testimony before this committee can be a little dry. And as im reading late at night it will put me to sleep. Not so in this case whatsoever. I think the testimony was fascinating partly because i am somewhat new to this issue. Im going to keep my Opening Statements somewhat brief because i know senator booker would like to make a statement. Im pretty data driven. The data, statistics on this particular problem, the bureau of prisons and our high levels of incarceration rates are pretty stark. In 1980, for example, there were 25,000 people in the federal prison system. Today there is 209,000. Thats 736 increase. Our population only increased 40 . In total, back in 1980, about 500,000 people in prison. Today theres 2. 3 million. We in america have the highest level of
Clark this week. Lets get your wednesday started with weather and traffic. It was warm and hot yesterday. Yes. A little bit of a cooldown. A lot of high clouds coming in. It doesnt matter in the city or along the coast. Not gonna be that hot. Thank goodness we didnt have an offshore breeze. As it was, mainly confined to inland areas. Some breaks in the higher clouds but theres definitely an increase in those coming up from the San Joaquin Valley, sacramento valley, heat advisory out, same areas as yesterday. But the cloud cover is racing in here fast. Very thick on the golden gate. Some rain embedded in this taking the turn after arizona coming up from southern california. The high desert and i think a lot of that plays in our weather with an increase in the clouds. Westsouthwest 21. But theres extremely warm hot air aloft which will translate into toasty numbers again inland. But yesterday we didnt have the high clouds. Today they will be there. Thats why i think it will be still toas
