taxi alliance i missed your last meeting i wanted to thank vice president lopez and the board for your letter to the mtapeals. ive hope tell help them understands the importance of the right for the taxi community including the medallion holders but all drivers and companies. i take issue with one aspect the letter it assumes the mta has the authority on refuse to allow the appeals to do so. we believe the charter language given mta authority over taxi nungzs does not conflict with jurisdiction over appeals. i the city attorney offered different advice if the question come before you, i hope you will address it with an open minds. i want to urge you not to agree to any proposals come from the mta that would restrict the right of taxi appellates. the mta drafted an mou have the appeal right meaningless would have eliminated the right to a hearing and interested member of the public to take an appeal. right of members of the public to participate in the hearing. the right of the board to modify a hearing officer's decision and the right of an appellate to request a rehearing. ask yourself how easy it woul
