How many of you are between the ages of 20 and 60, who do not remember where you were when you heard about the tragedy of 9 11 . Udden, traumatic, unexpected events leave indelible images in our mind and in our psychies. On november s old 22, 1963. I was in the second grade, in a city called hayward, california. And the older sister of a girl in my class came to the door because it was raining outside and we couldnt go out for recess and said the president had been killed. Of course, i didnt believe her. Later that day, i went home, across the street to where my grandmother lived. I saw my mother and grandmother watching television and i knew it was real. That weekend, i Read Everything i could and watched everything i could on television about this extraordinary event. And that was the weekend that was the catalyst for my fascination, my wife would say obsession, with how the news media shape Public Opinion. In december of 2010, i turned 55 and started wondering, what do i want people
Statement overriding sequa findings and that was not unanimous. The omission of an analysis in sequa is an emission so the measure analysis is legal issue.

When weighed against the benefits of this project, namely the creation of muchneeded housing, and a more walkable streetscape, the mitigations were found to be sufficient by the planning commission. Furthermore, the appellant proposed alternatives that were similar to two alternatives studied in the eir. Packages of design changes to mitigate the Historic Resource were included in four preservation alternatives in the eir, which are not considerably different from the alternatives proposed by the amelants. Appel. They argue it should have been included in the chapter but similar alternatives were studied and sequa did not require that an eir consider every alternative or combination of alternatives. Based on evidence presented today, it is my belief the final eir complies with the sanfrancisco admin code, providing an adequate impact of the project and thus, will be making a motion to deny the ail peel and affirm the final eir certification. A motion made and is there a second . Second
