barry toronto here. i haven't been here in a long time and i was compelled to come here tonight not by any staff people at all. i was compelled because i had seen the prior hearing on television, excuse me, on the computer and i also was alerted by some colleagues that this case was coming up again and i felt compelled because i am a social justice person and i feel that there has to be some equity in how rules are applied and not having workers' comp, i worked privately with a medallion holder and we had to go through a workers' comp issue and it was expensive but there's an obligation to have it. not just because of the rules, because it's the right thing to do. the other part of it is having another medallion on the street which other prior speak sers have already mentioned, can you imagine if not having the insurance on it and how many fares, how many fares other drivers could not get, money out of their pockets because somebody with an illegal medallion took that fare from them? that is not right. a
