Fred in our office is out of town for a couple days and I’m helping him with some taxi issues. I’m not sure if you’ve seen last week’s editorial in the Mercury News opposing fingerprinting for TNC’s because it hurts disadvantaged communities. We were hoping you and Pavel Smolyanitsky could write an editorial in response as members of the San Jose Airport Taxi Drivers Association. We have taken the liberty of writing a draft I have attached to this email. Please take a look and add any additional points and edit as you like. Please also let us know if you are allowed to include your Association. We are hoping you could submit the editorial today as soon as possible. Last week’s editorial: http://www.mercurynews.com/opinion/ci_28484105/orson‐aguilar‐fingerprinting‐lyft‐drivers‐ hurts‐disadvantaged‐communities Link to rules for editorial (including word count): http://www.mercurynews.com/opinion/ci_23713932/how‐submit‐ letter‐mercury‐news Email the editorial to: opinion@mercurynews.com Please let me know if you are willing to write a letter and submit today. Thanks, Katie Katie Scally Policy Aide, Office of Mayor Sam Liccardo 200 E. Santa Clara Street, 18 Floor, San Jose, CA 95113 1
