A Licensing Denouement
---
Posted without much comment, except to suggest that you read this in conjunction with my previous post:
A new law allowing only D.C. residents and businesses to register vehicles in the District has yet to be enforced because it could take up to 80 percent of the city's roughly 6,000 taxicabs off the streets.Same question as before: Is this D.C. cab licensing morass the result of Kip's Law, the Guild Conspiracy, or both?
...
Lucinda Babers, acting director of the DMV, said the agency has some concerns about [compromise] legislation and that the taxicab industry wants to "continue the status quo."
"I can't blame them," she said at the hearing. "It's a sweetheart deal."
