D.C. Cabs Seek Help from Congress
(Washington Examiner) — District taxicab drivers frustrated with Mayor Adrian Fenty’s authority over their industry are taking their fight to Congress.
Drivers have sent 1,000 petitions to Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., asking him to explain a provision he inserted into the 2006 District Omnibus Budget Authorization, which mandated a transition from a zone to a meter system.
The Fenty administration refers to the line as the “Levin Act.”
