after the City Council voted last month to require that ride-hailing companies pay drivers a higher rate while they are within city limits.
Josh Gold, an Uber spokesperson, said the company plans on ending its operations in Minneapolis, St. Paul and the Twin Cities metro area — including the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport.The metro area includes more than 3 million people, which is more than half the state's population. Council member Linea Palmisano said she plans to continue voting against it unless it is changed. Palmisano said she has heard from many community members who oppose it, including students, part-time and low-income workers, hospitals and more.
Marianna Brown, an Uber driver in her 60s living in a suburb of Minneapolis, supports the ordinance and isn't worried, saying other ride-hailing companies — and even a local driver-owned co-op — are planning to enter the Minneapolis market. Brown, a Jamaican immigrant, said drivers have been abused by Uber and Lyft for too long.
Michael Sack, 34, of Minneapolis, also opposes the ordinance. He has cerebral palsy and serves on the Minneapolis Advisory Committee on People with Disabilities. He urged the City Council and state Legislature to find a way to increase drivers' pay while keeping ride-hailing services affordable. ‘Congresswoman Boebert was in NYC for a good time not a long time,’ New York Young Republican Club tells The IndependentRepublican strategist Karl Rove, who was the architect of George W. Bush’s successful presidential run, says that Donald Trump has made a mistake calling imprisoned January 6th rioters hostages and said President Joe Biden should “go hard” at Trump on the issue.
