"Uber and Lyft face uncertainty in Minnesota as Gov. Walz issues veto"

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has vetoed a bill that would have provided new protections for Uber and Lyft drivers, including a minimum wage and a system for reinstatement if suspended. The proposal would have also required clearer rules for deactivating drivers and given them a chance to appeal before removal. Walz has instead established a committee to consider new protections and will work on legislation to pass next year. Uber had threatened to pull its services from Greater Minnesota and surge prices in the Twin Cities if the bill was signed.
