Today, in fact, crimea just voted to join russia. It was announced today. And im concerned the same thing that happened in russia will now happen in that happened in georgia will happen in ukraine. And i dont know if these sanctions will stop that. Thats my biggest concern. When one nation invades a sovereignty of another, definitions are important. We usually define that as an act of war. Does this Administration Believe that the russian invasion of ukraine is an act of war . Congressman, weve said very clearly that we know what we have seen which is military aggression, intervention in the affairs of a sovereign country, violation of legal commitments, violation of international law. That is what we see. Im not an International Lawyer so i wouldnt want to get into the terminology. Its clear, also, russ
Of which is contemplated in the work program which you approve every year through the budget process. But a lot of it does not see the light of day because of the business of planning and building transportation infrastructure is long term and it moves sometimes of what appears to be the age, and speed. But it is all the more reason to give you informed about it and the public of course about the things that are happening. So, i think that it would be fitting in keeping or recognizing the fact that there is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes and by people who rarely get a chance to present before the board to take a moment to first thank you, the board, for the attention to these reports and was contained in them over the years and the guidance that you provided me and the staff to make sure that we stay on track with the work program. And also, to thank the staff, the people who dont appear before you very often for doing the work over the years that has made the authority t

Production line and they at their own risk can manufacture these buses. I just want to make sure that when it comes to future purchases that we follow a more linear track for how we make our purchases. It seems really, it makes me very uncomfortable that there are buses manufactured for San Francisco painted with San Franciscos logo on the way here before we have approved them. That to me is just makes me feel like, our role here isnt really that important. Or that our role here isnt really necessary for the mta possibly to make its decisions.
