but as a frame of reference the -- indicating the inadequacy of the 72-hour video retention policy, you would state that my own state of massachusetts requires state and municipal agencies to retain their videotapes for 30 days under the state public record statutes. that's why agencies ranging from the massachusetts bay transportation authority to the boston housing authority have a one-month video storage policy in place. in addition under its current memorandum of agreement with the federal transportation security administration regarding the use of consolidated camera surveillance systems at logan international airport, the massachusetts port authority also has expressly agreed to retain captured images for 30 days. that's at the request of a federal agency. we retain that for 30 days. moreover, local educational institutions such as tufts university university of massachusetts, have also implemented 30-day retention policies for the campus security cameras. in addition, i have a number of kindergartens in my district that retain because of the security interests of those children,

on the e-mail stuff yeah, we had a retention policy. we do not have an archiving requirement, and it is an open question of public policy all over our country -- how long should governments retain? an interesting question in the age of electronic information sharing your it i think the most important information is about the operations. i thought that's where you were going with your question. when mayors saw the citystat room, i could see the looks in people's eyes saying, we have to get out of here. newly elected mayors have fresh opportunities. it is also why -- you see people moving back to cities. nobody wants to live in a place becoming more dirty and dangerous and violent. conversely, when cities become more livable, you see younger people moving back to them and cities are starting to function. it is causal and not coincidental that people -- particularly younger people -- are returning to cities. because they see them operating in transparent ways. bill galston: the woman in the red dress right there. >> i am with the data qual
