ST. PAUL, MN — Following the announcement of a so-called "compromise" between Democrat legislators and Democrat/DSA Members of the Minneapolis City Council on ridesharing legislation, Rep. Pat Garofalo, R-Farmington, issued the following statement.
"Let's be clear about what is happening here: Democrat legislators struck a deal with Democrat City Councilmembers that will still drive Uber and Lyft out of Minnesota. If this bill becomes law, Democrats will be fully responsible for the severe consequences for the disability community, tourism industry, and thousands of Minnesotans who rely on ridesharing services each day. We desperately need Gov. Walz and reasonable members of the DFL to wake up and get to work on a real compromise with all stakeholders at the table that will keep Uber and Lyft operating."
