"Uber's Threats Lead to Veto of Rideshare Bill by Gov. Walz"

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has vetoed a bill that would have raised wages for rideshare drivers, after Uber threatened to stop operating outside of the Twin Cities area later this summer if the governor signed the bill into law. Walz signed an executive order to create a committee for further study, which will be comprised of legislators, drivers, rideshare company representatives, members of the disability community, labor, riders, and others, and is expected to issue recommendations for furthering rideshare legislation next session.
