Chairman pappas, chairwoman brownley, Ranking Member bergman, chairman takano, members of the subcommittee and task force, thank you for inviting me here today to discuss gaos work for Sexual Harassment at the department of veteran affairs. I will talk about statements from my june report released last week. The protection board estimated that 22 of va employees experience some form of Sexual Harassment in the workplace. Va has several methods to address such Sexual Harassment complaints. But we found that the agency was falling short in a number of areas. Including one, its complaint structure, collection of incidents on Sexual Harassment and actions taken, and, three, provision in
Lowincome families and people of color [indiscernible] in real time. Help us now in real time by passing this resolution. Thank you. Thank you. Next caller, please. Good afternoon, supervisors. Im with the Mission Economic agency and calling in strong support of the resolution before you. Were currently only meeting 20 of our low and moderate housing goals and think its important theres an antidisplacement lens when handled in certain ways it can contribute to displacement of lowincome residents and theres history of market rate housing in overbuilt, lowincome areas in the city. Recent study of university of minnesota identified rent pressures can be put on those who are paying the lowest rents in an area near new market rate housing.

On the quantity front we think there should be no increase insensitive communities as mapped by the urban displacement project. For these and other reasons we think its ve
Has had with lawmakers this week. This is what he said in the last hour. We cant do too much here. We can do too little. We can do too little and sputter.

Homeland security and Government Affairs committee, led by our colleague from wisconsin, chairman john
So lets do this, people. Welcome to the daily social distancing show. From trevors couch in new york city to your couch somewhere in the world, this is the daily social distancing show with trevor noah. Trevor lets kick things off by talking about some of the stories that we cant really spend time on today because donald trump still has covid 19. For example, gay people taking over the proud boys hashtag with photos of themselves showing off their gay pride. I dont care what anyone says, this is great. Im glad the internet is doing more troll white supremacist challenges and less eat something that causes diarrhea challenges. This is tells how coronavirus can linger in the air after the person leaves the room, like a fart, but is actually silent but deadly. Mike pence is refusing to stand behind plexiglass at his debate with Kamala Harris tomorrow. Blows my mind. Forget plexiglass. After what weve seen at the white house this week the only place pence should be allowed to debate is ins
