mr. cox that's a candidate but i have talked to former mayor of san francisco gavin newsom about my concerns and the importance of being thoughtful in the selection of the c.p.u.c. person he will be able to appoint shortly thereafter should he be victorious in november. and i think we, as a body, could possibly weigh in or get together that resolution and again to help develop some criterion available to evaluate what an ideal candidate would look like in their representation of san francisco. i also want to note and credit, director risken have been trying to work with c.p.u.c. members on better regulation of tnc's. and also to collect the data. there's just been a large resistance. it's been really strong. i think there's been a lack of understanding to the importance that california public utility commissioners bring to this larger conversation. this conversation about tnc's and how dynamic it is, and how really over burdened we are here on the local level, not being able to create policies that would help us adjust to the influx of cars on the street. i think it's incredibly important al
