when cheryl brinkman made comment on item six. i would say can you imagine when you're bleeding from your body can you -- coming on this, it's nothing but a piece of junk, piece of crap. reporters telling airport should be given to one company and they should put caps. he brought in a taxi task force and a lawyer to present the c ase. they want all 24 cab companies occupant of that 22 companies to be closed on and entire business to be given two cab companies. that's what is shaking of a b ody. that means they are behind the game. they have access to the supervisor. they have been doing lot of things through the supervisor. we are requesting you that this support should be closed down. there's zero in it. this kind of item should be made clear that airport will not be given to one company and there will be no chance of closing 24 cab companies. let them operate as they are operating right now. thank you. >> next speaker please. >> tony, cindybaker. moving on, cindy baker. followed herbert wiener and then juanita washington. >> i l
