I am going to oppose the continuance, we have the legislation that we are responsible for and we will not always, if we are not willing to up hold in this case, then i fear, i know that one case is not supposed to set a precedent, but it will. I dont think that it is going to do something, although the orchard will talk to people merchants will say that it is not going to effect me and it is okay if i come in there and i can buy something cheaper. As far as the other issues, like loading, if we do pass it, we can take it up in, you know, just deal with it. Commissioner antonini. I dont know if we are supposed to debate a continuance. First of all a month from today and if it is okay to speak to it. I think that we have neighborhoods, stores and there are, this is a neighborhood.
