The department of Public Health, its not quite like a restaurant, right . The potential impact could be potentially much more serious, depending on the use that it is. And so if i understand correctly, the discomfort is more about our process in reviewing the environmental consequences of permitting this and whether we have reviewed everything and we know that its okay. My only concern we dont have the expertise to understand whether a particular hood would work in a particular situation. We have to rely on the expertise of the other agencies for that, right . So i dont know its typically not a level of detail we would get into at this level of entitlement. But thats the challenge im suggesting. Thats why fairly routine for us to have, within a categorical exemption, rely on existing codes and policies, existing code language that invites and requires other agencies to be involved and their codes would kick in. I think we are getting into that level of the entitlement phase of a projec
Our negotiations with united to save the mission have been very productive and we have signed an m. O. U. And also been attending San Francisco equity Group Meetings weekly. Working alongside rudy, shawn, john, mitchell, kim, shelly and glen has been one of the ultimate blessings in education and awareness this project has received. This Equity Program was created to help those who are most negatively affected by the war on drugs. I understand and all of us at Union Station understand that we are very fortunate to have gotten this far in this process of permitting our equity project. We have a number of qualified equity applicants in this project and look forward to giving preference to those hiring those who are equity qualified. My staff and i previously operated a dispensary on valencia street and hope to serve the same demographic we served from 2005 to 2011.

President of the United States use them as a political bargaining chip to force congress to comply with his domestic agenda. The bottom line for me is that our troops deserve than that and thats the reason i support this bipartisan budget act of 2014. It increases it stops the cuts in defense. It increases the money going to our troops, and it prevents them from being used as a bargaining chip in the future because it sets the military budget for fiscal year 2016 and fiscal year 2017 so that that is decided they cant be used as leverage for some other agenda. I think that is the sort of stability and predictability they need and they deserve. And i think the great question, madam speaker, is if not this, then what . We know that this budget agreement at least comes close to meeting what the president has asked for on defense and comes close to the congressional budget within 5 billion. Thats not enough money to repair the damage that has been done over the past five years, but its in t
