Like to speak on this nomination or election please come forward. Again, every year we give an opportunity to one of you supervisors, to represent our city. I would like to offer a suggestion. The focus on the seniors. I even attended a meeting in our district with ms. Abner james, so you know i am doing due diligence. She happens to be the chair the senior commission. The seniors in our city need some extra help when it comes to transportation. Simple things like even getting a clipper card; notices have been sent; when the seniors go to [indiscernible] wait in line, sent to 27a, assigned again to 11s to find out that is where they can get a clipper cart. Little things like that. You may think this comes under the jurisdiction of the mta; it comes under the jurisdiction of all supervisors so they represent seniors fairly. I hope in general of having a strategy to improve traffic flow now that you will attend to that. I will be attending some of the meetings, not all of the meetings. T
