. >> mr. marie? -- murray? >> jarvis murray, taxi services. what mr. alexander has said is basically correct. the mta position is that when he came up for his medallion in 2008, he did not qualify. there has been no evidence he qualified during that time. at that time, he needed to drive three out of four bang years to show he qualified. -- three of four years to show the qualified. he did not. if the question is whether he qualifies if he were to come up today, as mr. alexander stated, he would qualify. there is no debate he has given since 2008. in to the five and 2006, he did not drive enough hours. in 2007, he was not in the country and did not drive. 2008 was the only year he presented at that time where it could be shown he had badly driven. for the mta, the issue for us -- if you would like to choose that he is eligible as of today, that is one story. at the time of his application, that is a different issue. we are not prepared to unilaterally allow the wait time. if you choose to do so, the mta will not question that decision. commissioner fun

mr. president, we are on the wrong track. >> mary snow is tracking this developing story for us. so did this come as a surprise or did people suspect this was going to happen? >> the polls leading into the race showed republicans were ahead but clearly the democrat was expected to win. democrats will say, look, there are conservative democrats in this district and president obama won i think by 11 points in 2008. however, anthony weiner was elected to seven terms here. democrats outnumber republicans three to one. clearly expected for democrats to win. we'll see exactly has this means. if you remember back in the spring there was a special election in upstate new york and a democrat won pap surprise, because it was a republican-held district. that democrat won on associate security and medicare. the democrat here tried to make that the issue here, but in that time the economy has soured and polls showed that jobs were the big issue here. >> and this wasn't just an american and jobs issue. also an israel issue here. how did that play in? >> this was an unusual factor in this race.

mr. chairman, i suggest that you got it right when you said earlier this morning, heal thy self-. heal thyself, realize what you have to do and do it. having heard maryschapiro this morning and others that we've heard in recent months, they get it, they get what has to be changed and, mr. chairman, you referred to some of the changes that ms. shapiro has effected. capital formation, market surveillance and fraud detection. this is the worse of all possible times to do this kind of comprehensive reorganization. at the same time, we can't freeze things in time, and chairman shapiro this morning talked about her concerns that the modernization act while very well intentioned and focused might have that effect, that it might freeze the chart, and it would take an act of congress to change things. mr. chairman, your comment that, certainly, you're looking for flexibility, and this is a discussion draft and this is something that you want to consider further as does the committee, um, you and mr. frank have both commented this morning about the need for flexibility, and we all appreciate that. another point, mr. chairman, in last week's joint session the p
