Till the Governor veto’s it
This is exactly the type of bipartisan coalition Governor Ritter loves to see. The drivers had three former State PUC heads, two Republicans and one Democrat there to support the bill. Witnesses from across the political spectrum gave vivid testimony. Representatives from business and labor joined together in a call for fundamental reform of the taxi industry. That is why a majority of both parties supported the bill. People are tired of monopolies that fail to serve the public and rip off their employees.
I was at the hearing and it was quite a sight. The old Supreme Court room at the Capitol was packed to the gills with the taxi drivers. The taxicab companies were certainly made to look bad. One witness was Diane King, who is working on a civil rights claim against one of the operators. The abuses against the cabbies were so ugly and numerous, Rep. McFayden finally had to say “we get the point…” It sounds like the bill still needs to major work, and there were several amendments that made it hard to understand what was happening with the bill, but I think it has picked up a full head of steam and should be able to get out of the House.
It is not often you will an erruption of applause after a committee vote … quite a sight.
