Gone into this project and one of the success storis in terms of the different sides of an issue coming together and working collaboratively to find a solution, that everyone could agree upon. And i know that i am very proud of the work that went into this settlement. And we simply wanted to take this opportunity to hear a status report on where the project is, but we are going to hear from a number of city agencies, that are responsible for oversight of the Development Agreement, and of the project itself. I also want to welcome cpmc, sutter who are present, and i see mike cohail who was instrumental in getting to a resolution and so i want to thank him for being here. And i do want to give sutter an opportunity to Say Something and it can be at the beginning of the presentation, or we can wait until that we hear from the various agencies. And maybe we should proceed along those lines. And so with that, why dont i call upon the Mayors Office of workforce and Economic Development and t
Our issue is twofold with the tour bus and number one, they circle a block continually, through the day and i want to emphasize that it has been very difficult and taken me a bit of tracking and it happens around meal times there are two restaurant on clementstreet that do have a bus loading zone in front.

I cant as emphasize enough what a hazard this it and how many times the
Perhaps saying the first thing that we would fund before we begin to Fund Anything else, not a federal mandate but first on your list must be body cams .

Senator, the office of Justice Programs funs are available for Law Enforcement agencies to use to purchase body cameras and we see value in it. Our National Institute of justice is studying the effectiveness of body cameras and appropriate use of body cameras. But they can buy them now . Yes, maam. It wouldnt be hard if we decided before you get anything else we are going to insist you use our money for body cams before you buy other things like full blown battle gear or camouflage uniforms or grenade launchers. The money is formula money and we do not control how state and local jurisdictions use the money. Video cameras are on the
However, we should be angry that the house should not take up comprehensive immigration reform. For one year and five months, the Senate Version has sat past and we have been unable to take it. All during this time we have heard our country, our economy and our families. The time has come to make a decision. Now, while the president may have put this decision off, this decision will not work. It is the right thing to do. It is the american thing to do. And with gods help, it will be done before the conclusion of this year. I yield back the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. For what purpose does the gentleman from South Carolina seek recognition . Mr. Wilson madam speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house and to revise and extend my remarks.
