uber has appealed the decision of the state puc. they repealed the decision because they claim there is just an app. yet there are a lot of arguments that claim they're not just an app because actually have to hire the drivers and actually pay the drivers through the app. so, i urge you to get more involved because the mayor and the city attorney don't want to get involved. they've shown a reluctance in this area. and i urge you to please do this. i would love to drive friday and saturday nights, but i hardly do that because the business isn't there. everybody is looking at their phones calling these apps that don't have proper insurance and i'm not making money. i'd rather be dancing at mighty than serving at mighty because of the fact we're being railroaded out of the industry. and we're losing good drivers, losing good drivers and we're losing the business.

for her to make copies because i know none of you have it and this is done by the report by the state puc before the community college was built. i think everybody need information because one young man had me fooled. i thought he was the one that was involved and putting the commission and find out he wasn't the one. he put the amendment together when brown was mayor. people don't know what is going on. we need to stop and when i come to you and i know you have checked it out, whatever information i have given to you, you have found it to be true. you have not found no errors that dr. jackson has said. i have stated. you need to talk to moran because he was the only general manager that we were dealing with back in the day. he's going the bring more information to you. i don't think he can because i think, am i older that be you, baby? [ laughter ] i want to make sure. a lot of people forgot a lot of things. i haven't. you all have a blessed day. >> the center is far older than my tenure with the commission either in management or here. and it goes back a considerable time. it was before

puc. we've represented the regulatory at the local state and a federal level. we've passed about 50 items at the board of supervisors. at the state level we are pro-active in having an our priorities as well as advocating interests. lecturer we advocated working closely with s f p u d for proposition 39 which resulted in an altered two or $3 million and energy efficient dollars. at the federal level we've been working with the mayor's office to talk about infrastructure. last week our general manager and mayor ed lee presented those to the committee. last friday you may have seen a clip-on mayor ed lee on n s nbc and when they asked what he was going to ask president obama to get into priority tiger's water. we're extremely excited. and now the implementation at the water program. we are he w we have a total of 31 water stations and half of those are installed at the city hall's. it was a terrific opportunity for young people to get the explore for what the puc does and how to reach out to young folks. and the 6 hundred and 40 member is the context of the mayor
