Hayakawa Drops Taxicab Rule Amid Transit Bill Debate
Senator Hayakawa withdrew a proposed amendment from a mass transit authorization bill that would have cut funding to California cities including Los Angeles and San Francisco. He argued relaxation of taxi regulations would hurt minorities and the economically disadvantaged, citing high medallion costs in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The Senate passed the bill by voice vote without the amendment, while Hayakawa urged minority employment opportunities in transportation.
