Research some years ago but we now find the court of justice of the e. U. Is hindering progress by bringing into question the validity of the patient protecting research. Will the Prime Minister do what he can to clear this blockage on behalf of millions of people in this country who suffer longterm medical conditions . My hon. Friend makes an extremely serious point and i will look closely at it because it is a competitive advantage we have in this country that we took difficult decisions about stem cell research. Is important that we continue to lead in that area not only as he says for economic and scientific reasons but because we want to make sure longterm conditions, debilitating conditions, children with a disability and other concerns that we crack those problems for the future and without that level of research i dont believe we will. I will get what he says and write to him after. Is the Prime Minister proud of the growth of super pacs across this country including my own con
Probably 20, 25 different proposals on how to raise revenue for transportation in San Francisco. And we landed really on three options that were recommending be posed to the voters if not at the same time, very close together. The first is a go bond. Ive been in the city of San Francisco for 31 years and i havent seen a go bond. Mta has the ability to do Revenue Bonds and youre starting to do that and do it slowly and the agencies are looking favorablely, but the city and county have a great credit rating. We have the capacity and the task force is recommending 2,500 million two there is significant debt capacity to have a 500 million bond in november of 2014 and it wont crowd some of the other priorities within the city and county, so theres an earthquake safety bond and as you know the city is in the planning stages for replacing the hall of justice and those would continue on their schedule. The other thing that the Transportation Task force is recommending is that transportation be
As mr. Reiskin said the task force was created by the mayor and we have members of the task force who represent the operators in the area represent business and labor advocates of transportation of streets head by transit of course and we are trying to come together with consensus to identify the needs for transportation in San Francisco and develop an Investment Plan and come can up with a planning strategy in order to make that a reality at least in part. With that, the task has been coordinating to the Transportation Authority. We have looked at the county wide plan. Weve reviewed the mtct plan bay area to determine what the needs are for transportation. In taking a look at the Needs Assessment, as you know the organization of Transportation Services that you are in charge of are vast as director reiskin said in 13 billion. Theyre in repair or need improvement. Weve also learned from the Planning Department and from plan bay area about the future needs and the estimates are that by
Testing testing what is being proposed now is what they consider the first phase which would be a 640bed replacement jail. Currently just 3 and 4 have 509 beds. So, it is a reduction. The estimated cost of this is 290 million. Of that cost 30. 7 million would be to purchase the land adjacent to the hall of justice. So, this current plan is consistent with an assessment made by the controller, the county jails needs assessment. If they build a 640 height and bulk bed jail at the hall of justice, county wide there would be 220 beds, more than 2200 beds. This is expected to meet an average daily population, inmate population of 2 19 of 1900. There has to be additional beds to accommodate population days and also for what they call classification, which basically means beds need to be left vacant based on gender, type of crime and other factors. I want to note we have an overflow room in 263 if people are not able to find a seat in the chamber. Thank you. So, the current proposal is 2250 b
