But in fact, you and the mta have not answered the questions asked for years, how is this better, for people who are vulnerable, whether it is a person with a baby in a stroller, and a toddler, and having to cross an extra couple of intersections whether it is a senior or a person with a disability.

Get a fully develop the claim . I would make just a general comment before i turn this over to my staff. We believe that the reduction of the backlog is a combination of a claim process and dbqs and then also accountability thats passed onto the review officers. We think those three things are exactly the types of answers to not only reduce the claims but to a manageable level but then reduce the backlog entirely. Let me if i can ask a followup question, i know they work hard to encourage vetera...

The schedule is for your consideration, and then to the board of supervisors in january, and bawsca would be teed up to the bonds in january. Thank you. Commissioner moran. I would like to make a comment. This is amazingly good. Its something where a need was identified that turned o...

Customers is cost savings. Because of low interest rates. And its the same story you heard on us selling to low cost bonds. To repayors its a timely difference of when we receive money. It allows us to smooth out and have lower rate increases over the next five years. On the other hand we wont have interest earnings on the portion no longer outstanding. Its a trade off. But contractually wholesale customers are able and have the right to do this under the contract. Before you is the prepayment a...
