Governor Walz faces backlash for vetoing rideshare bills in Minnesota.

Democratic lawmakers criticize Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for vetoing a bill that would have provided pay raises and job protections to rideshare drivers. Walz plans to create a commission to study driver wages and working conditions, with the expectation it will recommend similar legislation for next year. Members of the Legislature's People of Color and Indigenous Caucus denounced the governor's veto, stating that it allows for the further exploitation of hardworking Minnesotans.
