mr. hahn said its really an undercutting thank you very much and have a good afternoon. >> anyone else here to support this? >> herbert weiner pair i feel that the parking should be affordable i do not like this business of hiking up parking fees the motorist are paying the brunt all falls on the shoulders of people that drive and park it's noted fair and not equitable burdens should be shared equally so this board should really address that motorists have been the whipping boy of this board i personally use any car subtle sparing i don't drive it as a rule in the city i take public transportation but i don't like to see motorists being the scapegoats their blamed for the ills in the city it basically falls on the shoulders of mta and it's management though i'm tired of this motorist phobia and the altitude the world will be a better place if no cars it's a dump altitude that people shake their heads and the rest of this is pretty bad and like to see the culture change on this board. >> seeing none, could we have a motion and resolution. >> motion to approve. >> is there a second. >> any further discussion all in favor, say

mrs. pelosi released the democrats she had held back and weiner said ok and it had the house. it came over to the senate and we made a few very cosmetic changes to it as a fig leaf for the house so that they could say that it was right for us to have defeated that version but we are in favor of this version. this one has a semicolon instead of a,. it is now passing the senate by a comfortable margin. it has passed the house. chris dodd, who lost his seat, the chairman walked across the aisle and gordon smith, the senator from oregon. chris said -- gordon, you are facing a very tough reelection. we all recognize that. we have enough votes to pass this without yours. i recommend, for your reelection in oregon, that you vote against it. this is a democrat talking to a republican. martin smith said -- chris this is the right thing for the country, it's the thing we ought to be doing. i could not live with my conscience if i voted against it. gordon voted for it. gordon lost. that is a deep american tradition. i think it still holds. for all the other stuff that we talk about, get
