Suspended for lying about the election. What they did should be a problem for them. They should be investigated. And nearly 100 people still missing in florida after the collapse of a 12 story condo building. The latest on the Desperate Search And Rescue efforts. All in starts right now. Good evening from new york im chris hayes. Its the kind of thing we dont see happen often anymore. This afternoon the president of the United States joe biden blocked it to the white house driveway surrounded by democratic and republican senators to announce they have a deal. A big bipartisan legislative deal on infrastructure. This reminds me of the days we used to get an awful lot done in the United States congress. We actually worked with bipartisan deals. Bipartisan deals means compromise. Are you confident are going to have all of the democrats in the senate . Im not confident of anything except we will get to the details of the deal which includes 579 Billion Dollars in new spending on new projec
The civil war and using 50 objects, while the multi layered and political history, takes in the totality context of the war, it does not consider the history, or sequence of battle. Harold what do you think about that . Well it is a fair enough comment of course the objects that we are discussing are all in some way related to new york history so it relates to the soldiers who served the leaders who helped or hindered the union war effort, and along the way here, over these last few weeks weve touched on bells. Those who experience them, and certainly the battle for new york city because early on we dealt with the draft riots, indeed indeed. So we are doing okay i think. That is a fair comment. I agree. I thought we might as well air. It yes. Tonights evening has two objects. The portrait of ulyssesesque grant from 1860, eight and a coined by Benjamin Franklin butler.

Anytime that im looking at the labor request for the commission is that the commission exercises the power sparingly, and useds a balancing approach where you balance the need for the labor on the one hand with any danger of unfair advantage or undue influence on the other hand. And in cases where you find that the need for the labor outweighs the danger of impropriety, thats when the waiver is proper. Otherwise, the balance of equities is not there and the waiver is probably inappropriate. So in this particular instance, i do recommend a waiver to be granted along the lines of what was requested and what is requested is that mr. Eske be allowed as he sits on the Arts Commission to continue to engage in compensated advocacy, limited to a specific list of city commissions but not all city commissions and City Employees, but the set of commissions that he interacts with now. And to that i would add that he only be allowed to engage in compensated advocacy for clients of his architecture
