Hayakawa Drops Transit Amendment After Taxi Reassurances
Senate withdrawal of an amendment to a 85.3 billion mass transit bill would have barred funds to cities enforcing taxi rules. Sen. S. Hayakawa demanded hearings on separate legislation to loosen taxi regulations, citing minority employment aims and high medallion costs in Los Angeles and San Francisco. He recalled his taxi driver past while urging cautious labor market reforms as the bill moved forward.
