question, but i have one commissioner -- all our commissioners have great questions but commissioner yekutiel, you have the floor. >> i was going to ask a question. this is a bit of a question and i asked you this, doctor, when i interviewed you, but i think part of the concern here is that there is a decision-making table where the perspective of small businesses is being filtered upwards, which is great, and there's lots of owners on the ertf's and you're here in front of the small business commission. but you are and the board of supervisors and the mirror's mas office make the decisions fillerring down and affecting thousands small business owners and employees in the city. but none of those people are small business owners themselves. and so, you know, thank you for coming to us and for hearing us. and also, you know, evacue we'vd that many times, it's important that small business owners are at the table. (please stand by). pup >> yes, we have nine in the queue. i'll take the first caller. >> okay. >> i'm going to log off, is that okay? >> yes. >> i just -- thank you. thank you very muc
