Minneapolis City Council Overrides Mayor's Veto on Rideshare Pay Ordinance
The Minneapolis City Council voted 10-3 to override Mayor Jacob Frey's veto of an ordinance aimed at raising wages for rideshare drivers, prompting Uber and Lyft to announce plans to cease operations in the city on May 1. The ordinance has sparked concerns among downtown business groups and residents, while alternative rideshare services express readiness to fill the potential void. This marks the second time the council has overridden one of Frey's vetoes, highlighting the ongoing tension between the mayor and the council.
