there is no reason you should be pushing this forward without talking to mr. hara. i talked to him and indicated he might be putting cabs on the street, but able to do it in a scientific manner rather than the old method of back-door politics. you have really given yourselves a really bad reputation over the last couple of months as an organization that pays no attention whatsoever to the drivers and puts on these events as a farce. i suggest that you hold an actual meeting where this can be discussed and wait for mr. hara to tell you whether or not you should have cabs on the streets. thank you very much. >> thank you, sir next speaker. >> benjamin dallas. [ reading speakers' names ] >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon, board of directors, my name is benjamin, national veterans cab. i am here to speak against this resolution. i would like to respond to mr. lozar's [kph-efpt/]. he noted his average response time is 11 minutes, 48 seconds. you call for a cab and the cab shows up in 11 minutes and 48 seconds. that is our average response time. that seems reasonable t
