but a niggardly excluding the pre-k medallion holders, when they knew there is going to be a proposal to make them nontransferable. at the time they bought their medallions, they were transferable. i urge you not to exclude the pre-k medallions from being able to sell. you want to sell? this is what you have to do. you want to buy? this is what you have to do. determining the price of medallions, the city can use the money, and it is part of our system. at least tempering medallions for the next four years, which would cover the people buying cars, began whenever your study comes out, i do not think anybody in the industry would be against the issuance of 100 more cabs. i am sure we need way more than that. but 100 with least relieve some of the pressure. chairman nolan: thank you. secretary boomer: [reading names] chairman nolan: i do not see that one man. secretary boomer: ok. larry toronto. >> good afternoon. larry toronto. some of this was not invented at town hall meetings, but some of this has been changed from the extent where you see so many people speaking, there is a reason.
