1 MR. COUTER: Thank you. Does anybody <br /> � 2 else wish to speak in opposition to the <br /> � <br /> 3 a lication . <br /> PP <br /> 4 MR. ANTONACCI : Hi, I am Vic Antonacci . <br /> 5 I am from Springfield, Illinois, and I run the <br /> 6 Lincoln Yellow Cabs in Springfield. I have been <br /> 7 an operator since 1955 over there, and my wife <br /> 8 Shirley decided to come over here and help out <br /> 9 when we were asked to April lst, and I would like <br /> 10 to give a little background about the taxicab I <br /> 11 service, if I could. I am very well-experienced ' <br /> 12 at it, and a taxicab driver ' s profession is not <br /> 13 the most unique thing in the world. We just had <br /> � 14 a driver killed a few ears a o . You cannot get <br /> Y 9 <br /> 15 the type of drivers that you can in other types <br /> 16 of work. You have got to take what comes along . <br /> 17 They are hard to find, and once you get them, <br /> 18 they are hard to keep because there is better <br /> 19 opportunities out there for them. So, therefore, <br /> 20 there is always a shortage of drivers, therefore, <br /> 21 there is a shortage of service . I don ' t know <br /> 22 where this new company thinks they can get the <br /> 23 drivers at, but all they would be doing is <br /> 24 cutting into the drivers that we have now by <br /> � <br /> ANCHOR COURT REPORTING 17 <br /> (217) 428-0946 * * * ( 800) 774-8374 <br />
