Control or that we lack the power to allow the shuttle to use the muni stops and there is a dispute about the interpretation about the state, vehicle code and that will be ultimately out by the courts. But if you support it and the people mean what they say, and then having the local, explicit local control to make a decision in San Francisco, whether or not to allow the shuttles to use the muni stops seems to make a lot of sense and so i move that we change the finance committee recommendation, on these from an opposed to a watch position, back to the original staff recommendation.
