Chamber Probes Nellis Cab Absence in North Las Vegas
North Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce manager Gene Echols said he appointed two men to study why Nellis Cab isn’t operating in the city. Ray Chennoweth, owner of Nellis Cab, claimed the Nevada Public Service Commission told him to stop running multiple cabs. The PSC previously allowed him a countywide certificate but denied more permits, leaving NLV with no active cab service as officials seek explanations and potential action.
