Forrest Dunbar was influenced by special interest to keep auction provision of taxi permit rewrite

Instead of listening to the public Forrest decided to listen to the special interest group called the Anchorage Taxicab Permit Owners Association to keep the auction part in issuing the taxicab permit.  This will allow these permits to continue to be a cash cow.  The idea of the lottery system is to allow the average cab driver to become a permit owner.  Remember the actual value of a taxicab permit is nothing.
