4:26 pm
number of hours is increasing they continue to cut evenings and in one case weekend times what people say they want most. they tried initially in may to come up with a program that would cut 42 sessions every week in the city. we'd like the peripheries to pay attention to moor the library does not cut weekend hours but it adds evening and weekend hours that it increases the open hours at the mainland libraries which is the worse of the comparison libraries and it should stop the reduction of days. thanks very much >> hi good afternoon. i'm

barry. today is face and morning day from the jewish religion. i'm here to find out that late last time that mayor lee had declared this in favor of operating illegally in san francisco and i think it would be great if you ask mayor lee if his daughter works for this app and whether that could create a conflict of interest. i'm very, very much concerned it's making it difficult for the cab industry when those apps are out there. in fact, some of the insurance companies of the drivers of those particular vehicles have told me they're not covered if
4:28 pm
they get in an accident. it's important to get out there considering there are apps all over the city saying there are having lower costs by using those vehicles but you could risk your life in them and you couldn't get any coverage for that. i'm very much unconcerned you may get a resolution countering with mayor lee had said sporting the regulation of the taxi industry in the city. any day now we'll get an opinion from the administrator law judge. in closing, i want to say in america of ms. collins becauseer
