Supreme Court To Hear Ceb Case In Taxi Regulation Row
Whittlesea and Checker claim they were not parties to a suit by Strip and Nellis Cab companies, arguing the decision does not bind them. Whittlesea says he had 109 cabs before 1966 but rights were cut to 50. The Governor’s Taxi Committee studies regulation while Las Vegas union drivers demand cab limits or contracts to make any agreement meaningful. If the court upholds PSC control, state enforcement could proceed until legislation acts, easing Teamsters negotiations with companies.
