As Yellow Taxis Weakens Because of Uber Type Services is de Blasio Turning His Back on Industry Whose Contributions Help Make His Mayor
Fair Weather Friend
De Blasio isn’t interested in helping out yellow cabs (NY1) de Blasio said Friday he won’t bail out the yellow-cab industry — even as the value of city-issued taxi medallions is plummeting because of competition from Uber and other ride apps.

de Blasio Pay to Play Taxi Uber FOIL Cover-UP Continues
The Daily News writes that documents it has received through a Freedom of Information Law request related to New York City ’s study on Uber show the mayor’s staff found riders were shifting from taxis to Uber without increasing the total number of rides
Bill’s Uber secrets (NYDN Ed) The communication lifted our spirits: Just under the Freedom of Information Law deadline, City Hall invited us to pick up digitized copies of documents related to Mayor de Blasio’s $2 million consultant’s study of things Uber. Slip the disc into a computer and up pop file after file with not a single file containing contract records, such as a request for proposals and the consultant contracts themselves. Presumably, those show what de Blasio tasked the consultants with doing and how they earned their keep. His aides promise they are still looking. Huh? How hard can they be to find? Meantime, the extant paper trail of the mayor’s quest to rein in the car-hailing app service puts to rest doubt about his fealty to the yellow taxi moguls who had hoped to shut down a threat to their industry — and whose campaign dollars helped pave his path into City Hall. In a Daily News Op-Ed last summer, de Blasio thundered that “overwhelming” traffic congestion driven by Uber obligated him tightly limit new Uber licenses, as well as to study the matter. The mayor also warned of dimming economic prospects for cab drivers, whose plight he has compared to that of low-wage Walmart workers. Then he spent the $2 million, discovered he was wrong and, ultimately, was embarrassed into releasing a skimpy report months after the fact. The documents produced thus far by the administration are heavily blacked out, for no reason other than that the law permits the mayor to black out certain types of information. He can cover it up, so he covers it up. Nonetheless, it’s clear that, from the very start of the review, the mayor’s staff found that riders and drivers were shifting from taxis to Uber for better deals without increasing the total number of rides in the city. Pages of data about taxi industry economics, including the plummeting value of taxi medallions, also make clear that the focus was on medallion holders’ fight for survival. t further turned out Ubers are much more likely than cabs to park between rides, while cabs are more likely to cruise — increasing traffic. This detail was conspicuously missing from the mayor’s January report — and all on its own made an expedition into the mayor’s files worthwhile. More to come, if only City Hall can find those darned contracts. Cuomo TOO Executive Mansion New York State
The Most Progressive Mayor in History Has Created A Black Hole for FOIL Requests
Holding our breath:Waiting for de Blasio's Freedom of Information Law response (NYDN Ed) On Feb. 3, we submitted a Freedom of Information Law request to City Hall seeking access to records related to the $2 million consultant study commissioned by the mayor after he accused Uber of congesting the streets. That very day, an aide confirmed via email that our request had been logged in for action. Six days later came confirmation that de Blasio would provide the records on March 4 or explain why not. Naively, it seems, we concluded that City Hall was not a FOIL black hole, as reports had suggested. Now, though, Voice of the People correspondence has triggered worry. Last year, Manhattan lawyer Craig Sheldon requested records related to a similar report, this having to do with de Blasio’s horse-carriage campaign. * As lobbying money rises, de Blasio’s agency disclosure pledge goes unfulfilled (PoliticoNY) de Blasio promised in his 2013 run for the office that he would have the most transparent mayoral administration in history. As part of that pledge, he vowed that he would continue a practice of proactively disclosing all meetings he’d had with lobbyists. But he also promised to go even further — requiring “that city officials in executive agencies publicly disclose meetings with registered lobbyists on a monthly basis,” according to “One New York — Rising Together,” the 75-page book of policy promises he released in June 2013 as he embarked on his mayoral campaign. More than two years after he first took office, de Blasio has yet to fulfill that pledge.
Foil This: de Blasio Releases Rideshare Study
He filed identical requests in two places — with City Hall and with the Economic Development Corp. EDC promptly coughed up the documents in its possession. But, with more records outstanding, City Hall keeps sending Sheldon emails that promise delivery or a rejection within 20 days and then another 20 days and then another. They are the exact type of emails we’ve gotten — in other words, they could be black-hole form letters. Uh, oh.
de Blasio is So Incompetent That He Cannot Even Deliver to the Taxi Boses Who Elected Him, Owns Him
Bill’s big waste(NYDN Ed) For months, Mayor de Blasio played coy on the whys and hows of a $2 million study that he ordered while trying to hobble Uber, the app-based car-for-hire service. Now, as he trickles out details, we have an explanation: The study confirms that, friend to the yellow cab industry, he urged a freeze on new Uber permits with no basis in fact. So reveal scraps that de Blasio relinquished to Politico New York in response to a Freedom of Information Law request for internal documents related to the study.
Still to come are secrets that may be found in a still broader request submitted by the Daily News Editorial Board. De Blasio’s X-files show more Uber rides on the streets and fewer taxi rides, by an almost identical number, even though he had insisted Ubers were “overwhelming” streets and clogging traffic. All this he could have learned before ever embarking on his doomed quest. At the Taxi and Limousine Commission’s insistence, Uber had supplied detailed data sufficient to show more Ubers corresponded to fewer taxis trawling for fares. De Blasio now aims to update TLC rules to ensure Ubers and taxis alike welcome wheelchairs onboard and collect fees to support the MTA. He’ll need to stick to the facts.* New York City taxi regulators are combing through data and preparing to propose tighter rules governing how long drivers may be on the road, possibly by addressing breaks and time between shifts, The Wall Street Journal reports:

But their checks were returned just weeks later. The campaign refused to say why, but rules don’t allow firms doing business with the city to donate to the kitty of those about to take office — out of conflict-of-interest concerns.

When Will Their Be A Uber Like Online Service for the Handicapped?
Hail progress (NYDN Ed) Ten years ago, New York ’s fleet of yellow taxis included just three cabs capable of offering transportation to passengers who got around in wheelchairs. The number was both meaningless and insulting, prompting this page to steadily advocate that, as a public accommodation, the city’s taxi service needed far greater accessibility for people with disabilities. The politically connected industry fiercely resisted. As a result, progress was slow. Today, 581 of the 13,587 yellow cabs, roughly 4% of the fleet, can serve passengers in wheelchairs. Hailing one on the street is a longshot. Summoning one by phone often entails a wait of at least half an hour. Next up: Uber and other smartphone-based ride services. They include not a single accessible car. In time, they will. Just wait and see. Next up:

Lobbyists Win By Using Campaign Tools to Threaten Weak PAC $$$ Elected Councilmember With Primaries to Win for Uber
Power in Money: Whenis lobbying in NY not lobbying? (democratandchronicle) When gay-rights groups in 2011 wanted to press the state Legislature to legalize same-sex marriage, they didn’t turn just to a team of lobbyists.They hired a high-powered public relations firm with close ties to public officials to lead the charge. The firm, SKDKnickerbocker, received a whopping $1.8 million for the campaign. he full-court press of ads, mailings and social media worked. New York became the largest state in the nation to make same-sex marriage legal. The spending also made clear something else at the state Capitol: No longer was the key to success solely hiring a lobbying firm to stroll the hallways trying to drum up votes for a special interest. It requires a broad media strategy to win over lawmakers in their districts and in Albany . As spending for lobbying in New York state increased 56 percent over the past decade — from $144 million in 2005 to $226 million in 2015 — so too has the sophistication of the campaigns. A review of records by Gannett’s Albany Bureau showed that the public-relations firms have raked in more than $3 million since 2010 from political campaigns and then worked on efforts to promote key issues before the Legislature through coordinated lobbying efforts. Public-relations firms that can offer a cache of services to public officials and private companies are the new frontier — and state laws have yet to keep up.“The public-relations firms are where it’s heading, especially those that provide political consulting of candidates,” said David Grandeau, the former executive director of the state Lobbying Commission. He said the firms that help state officials get elected can then reap the benefits of their close ties with the lawmakers. “If I’m a consultant and I help you get elected as a state senator, and then I turn around and work for a private-sector, multinational corporation that wants to lobby that public official who I helped get elected, I’m in a pretty good spot to do that, aren’t I?” said Grandeau, a state ethics consultant.* A Manhattan federal judge ruled the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission violated the constitutional rights of thousands of drivers by illegally seizing their cars if they suspected them of illegal activity, the Post reports: * Uber biggest in Manhattan and gentrified Brooklyn and Queens (PoliticoNY)

True News Wags CapitalNY On Uber But Leaves Out Shadow Govt Lobbyists and Privatization of the Machine
Uber lobbied hard in New York before cap fight, too (Capital) Uber has more than 250 lobbyists and 29 lobbying firms registered in state capitals, not including municipal lobbyists, Bloomberg reported. Capital reported last week that Uber hired an army of some of the city's best known political operatives and lobbyists to run their campaign against the proposed regulations, including former mayor Michael Bloomberg's campaign manager Bradley Tusk, former Bloomberg spokesman Stu Loeser, Hillary Clinton ad man Jimmy Siegel, Clinton super PAC pollster Jef Pollock and Democratic operative Neal Kwatra. The Albany-based firm Hill, Gosdeck & McGraw, which lobbied only state officials, received $30,000 from Uber, state records show. Well-known Democratic political operative Patrick Jenkins’s Queens-based firm, which has lobbied both city and state officials, has been paid $45,000 so far. CIty-based lobbyist James F. Capalino’s firm has been paid at least $90,000 this year to lobby city officials, and Kasirer Consulting, the lobbying firm run by Suri Kasirer, earned $45,000, the records show. McKenna, Long & Aldridge, another Albany-based firm hired to lobby both city and state officials, has so far earned $60,000. Uber’s in-house lobbyists have earned $7,139 according to the state records. State lobbying records also show Uber paid $13,690 to the Knickerbocker Group for “newspaper ads to raise awareness about Uber Driver partnerships in NYC” and paid the firm $66,763 for “Direct mail to raise awareness about Uber-Driver partnerships in NYC.”
Both Cuomo and de Blasio Are Looking How to Get Some of Uber $$$
Uber's victory may be shortlived as de Blasio and Cuomo take aim (CrainsNY) The mayor says a vehicle cap remains an option if Uber falls short of its promises, and the governor plans to discuss statewide regulations with the company.
Uber was able to deftly outflank de Blasio on his home turf, co-opting pieces of his message, splitting him from his normal Democratic allies, and drawing together an opposition constituency that could haunt de Blasio in 2017. To do so, Uber deployed a sophisticated, expensive political campaign waged by lobbyists and strategists trained in the regimes of Obama, Cuomo, and Bloomberg. That campaign worked in part because even though Uber the company is motivated by the pursuit of profit, not social justice, Uber the product has some genuinely progressive effects. So Uber went straight at the mayor’s minority base, drawing it into its vision of the modern New York . The company’s ad blitz highlighted how Uber’s drivers are mostly black and brown. It held a press conference at Sylvia’s, in Harlem , where the company basically accused the mayor of discriminating against minorities by daring to try to rein in its growth. It pushed data to reporters showing that Uber serves outer-borough neighborhoods that for years were shunned by yellow cabs.
” The mayor is also realistic enough to know that if the Council had enacted the cap, Uber would have continued to hammer him, likely suing the city and trying to get Albany to step in on the company’s side. Crafting a compromise may yield better taxi policy, but it also avoids some political pain. For now, anyway. “Uber has a lot of the same consultants as the charter-school people,” a business leader who is sympathetic to de Blasio says. “To the mayor’s people, the possibility of that coalescing into an actual political opposition is a clear and present danger.”

Council Speaker Takes A Taxi Boss Campaign $ Bribe to Stop Uber
Yellow-cab backers gave Mark-Viverito $27K ahead of Uber vote (NYP) City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito hauled in more than $27,000 in campaign donations from yellow-cab interests in the months before the council proposed a cap on high-tech rival Uber, records show. The windfall included contributions from the president and three members of the Committee for Taxi Safety — which in March first lofted a nearly identical proposal to limit Uber. Other donors were yellow-cab medallion owners, drivers and industry lobbyist Michael Woloz — the largest bundler for Mayor de Blasio’s 2013 campaign for City Hall. Arthur Goldstein, a taxi- financing rep who works for the lobbying firm of de Blasio pal Sid Davidoff, gathered more than $6,000 for Mark-Viverito, who can’t run again for her current position in 2017 because of term limits. * .@Uber slams councilmembers—with one exception (CrainsNY)
Council and Its Speaker Progressives for Sale
The taxi contributions account for more than 9 percent of the $289,000 she took in during the latest filing period, Jan. 12 through July 11. The council is expected to vote Thursday on capping Uber’s growth over the next year at 1 percent, and smaller car-service firms at up to 15 percent, purportedly so the city can conduct a yearlong study of traffic congestion in Manhattan
Council Speaker Mark-Viverito may call herself a progressive, but taking donations from yellow-cab interest groups and supporters before the potential passage of a cap on Uber drivers certainly isn’t

The reverend, who has a close and complicated relationship with Mayor Bill de Blasio, ‘has questions’ about the effects the cap would have on minority communities, a source close to Rev.

Potential Uber cap has all the makings of a major scam (NYP) First, some City Council members said they wanted to study the congestion impact of the rapid growth of livery cars. That sounded ominous, given that so much congestion is a result of city policies, from bike lanes to delayed green lights to pedestrian plazas, and the council never cared before. Taxi moguls, meaning big owners of yellow medallions, have long been hefty donors to de Blasio, and gave over $500,000 to his mayoral campaign. Similarly, council members pushing the legislation have been cozy with the owners, and one, Ydanis Rodriguez, head of the Transportation Committee, even suggested a bailout for owners because competition is lowering the value of the city-issued medallions. * 700 Uber drivers could be fired under new bill (NYP) * A NYC Council bill aimed at capping the number of for-hire licenses allows Uber to add just 200 cars over the next year — and could force it to retroactively ax about 700 drivers who received their licenses after a mandated June 15 cut-off date, the company said. * Uber claims a New York City bill that would limit it to adding 200 for-hire licenses next year may force the app-based car service company to retroactively cut about 700 drivers, the Post reports:
The leader of the anti-Uber movement is Gene Freidman, the so-called taxi king because he owns over 900 medallions. He’s in a dispute with Citi over loans backed by medallions, and there have been reports that he’s a tax scofflaw who owes millions to the city and the state.

Councilman Rodriguez on the Tit Of the Yellow Taxi Bosses
Councilman’s restitution proposal for taxi owners is nonsense (NYP Ed) What century does Ydanis Rodriguez think he’s living in? In a closed-door summit with taxi magnates this week, the City Council Transportation Committee chairman reportedly said the city needs to “study” why the value of medallions has plummeted — and “explore the possibility to pay restitution for those who value in that investment.” Uber’s roster of drivers has already passed the number of yellow-cab medallions. No wonder: Uber (and its rivals) offer a better deal. Median income for Uber drivers is $90,000 a year, vs. $30,000 for cabbies. And fleet owners often treat their drivers shabbily, to say the least. Adding insult to idiocy, Rodriguez tapped as co-moderator of his “summit” none other than fleet owner Gene Freidman — who was hit with a lawsuit the same day by Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.The AG accused Freidman of repeatedly violating cabbies’ rights — paying drivers a month late for rides charged to credit cards, falsifying receipts, bouncing checks to his hacks.

Koffi Komlani, 55, was hit with just a $580 fine in a plea deal for failing to exercise due care in the Upper West Side crash that killed Cooper Stock.

But state laws require that the DMV hold a safety hearing within 12 months after a fatal crash. During the hearings, administrative judges review what happened in the crash and can decide to suspend or revoke a driver’s license. “Why is there no justice?” said Stock’s mom, Dana Lerner, who was not notified by the DMV of the hearing date. “It’s the same thing over and over again. It’s an insult to my son’s memory. The DMV said that they waited to hold the crash hearing in Komlani’s case because it was “pending disposition of the criminal charges.”

de Blasio Pay to Play Taxi Uber FOIL Cover-UP Continues
The Daily News writes that documents it has received through a Freedom of Information Law request related to New York City ’s study on Uber show the mayor’s staff found riders were shifting from taxis to Uber without increasing the total number of rides
The Most Progressive Mayor in History Has Created A Black Hole for FOIL Requests
Holding our breath:Waiting for de Blasio's Freedom of Information Law response (NYDN Ed) On Feb. 3, we submitted a Freedom of Information Law request to City Hall seeking access to records related to the $2 million consultant study commissioned by the mayor after he accused Uber of congesting the streets. That very day, an aide confirmed via email that our request had been logged in for action. Six days later came confirmation that de Blasio would provide the records on March 4 or explain why not. Naively, it seems, we concluded that City Hall was not a FOIL black hole, as reports had suggested. Now, though, Voice of the People correspondence has triggered worry. Last year, Manhattan lawyer Craig Sheldon requested records related to a similar report, this having to do with de Blasio’s horse-carriage campaign. * As lobbying money rises, de Blasio’s agency disclosure pledge goes unfulfilled (PoliticoNY) de Blasio promised in his 2013 run for the office that he would have the most transparent mayoral administration in history. As part of that pledge, he vowed that he would continue a practice of proactively disclosing all meetings he’d had with lobbyists. But he also promised to go even further — requiring “that city officials in executive agencies publicly disclose meetings with registered lobbyists on a monthly basis,” according to “One New York — Rising Together,” the 75-page book of policy promises he released in June 2013 as he embarked on his mayoral campaign. More than two years after he first took office, de Blasio has yet to fulfill that pledge.
Foil This: de Blasio Releases Rideshare Study
He filed identical requests in two places — with City Hall and with the Economic Development Corp. EDC promptly coughed up the documents in its possession. But, with more records outstanding, City Hall keeps sending Sheldon emails that promise delivery or a rejection within 20 days and then another 20 days and then another. They are the exact type of emails we’ve gotten — in other words, they could be black-hole form letters. Uh, oh.
de Blasio is So Incompetent That He Cannot Even Deliver to the Taxi Boses Who Elected Him, Owns Him
Bill’s big waste(NYDN Ed) For months, Mayor de Blasio played coy on the whys and hows of a $2 million study that he ordered while trying to hobble Uber, the app-based car-for-hire service. Now, as he trickles out details, we have an explanation: The study confirms that, friend to the yellow cab industry, he urged a freeze on new Uber permits with no basis in fact. So reveal scraps that de Blasio relinquished to Politico New York in response to a Freedom of Information Law request for internal documents related to the study.
Still to come are secrets that may be found in a still broader request submitted by the Daily News Editorial Board. De Blasio’s X-files show more Uber rides on the streets and fewer taxi rides, by an almost identical number, even though he had insisted Ubers were “overwhelming” streets and clogging traffic. All this he could have learned before ever embarking on his doomed quest. At the Taxi and Limousine Commission’s insistence, Uber had supplied detailed data sufficient to show more Ubers corresponded to fewer taxis trawling for fares. De Blasio now aims to update TLC rules to ensure Ubers and taxis alike welcome wheelchairs onboard and collect fees to support the MTA. He’ll need to stick to the facts.* New York City taxi regulators are combing through data and preparing to propose tighter rules governing how long drivers may be on the road, possibly by addressing breaks and time between shifts, The Wall Street Journal reports:

When Will Their Be A Uber Like Online Service for the Handicapped?
Hail progress (NYDN Ed) Ten years ago, New York ’s fleet of yellow taxis included just three cabs capable of offering transportation to passengers who got around in wheelchairs. The number was both meaningless and insulting, prompting this page to steadily advocate that, as a public accommodation, the city’s taxi service needed far greater accessibility for people with disabilities. The politically connected industry fiercely resisted. As a result, progress was slow. Today, 581 of the 13,587 yellow cabs, roughly 4% of the fleet, can serve passengers in wheelchairs. Hailing one on the street is a longshot. Summoning one by phone often entails a wait of at least half an hour. Next up: Uber and other smartphone-based ride services. They include not a single accessible car. In time, they will. Just wait and see. Next up:

Lobbyists Win By Using Campaign Tools to Threaten Weak PAC $$$ Elected Councilmember With Primaries to Win for Uber
Power in Money: Whenis lobbying in NY not lobbying? (democratandchronicle) When gay-rights groups in 2011 wanted to press the state Legislature to legalize same-sex marriage, they didn’t turn just to a team of lobbyists.They hired a high-powered public relations firm with close ties to public officials to lead the charge. The firm, SKDKnickerbocker, received a whopping $1.8 million for the campaign. he full-court press of ads, mailings and social media worked. New York became the largest state in the nation to make same-sex marriage legal. The spending also made clear something else at the state Capitol: No longer was the key to success solely hiring a lobbying firm to stroll the hallways trying to drum up votes for a special interest. It requires a broad media strategy to win over lawmakers in their districts and in Albany . As spending for lobbying in New York state increased 56 percent over the past decade — from $144 million in 2005 to $226 million in 2015 — so too has the sophistication of the campaigns. A review of records by Gannett’s Albany Bureau showed that the public-relations firms have raked in more than $3 million since 2010 from political campaigns and then worked on efforts to promote key issues before the Legislature through coordinated lobbying efforts. Public-relations firms that can offer a cache of services to public officials and private companies are the new frontier — and state laws have yet to keep up.“The public-relations firms are where it’s heading, especially those that provide political consulting of candidates,” said David Grandeau, the former executive director of the state Lobbying Commission. He said the firms that help state officials get elected can then reap the benefits of their close ties with the lawmakers. “If I’m a consultant and I help you get elected as a state senator, and then I turn around and work for a private-sector, multinational corporation that wants to lobby that public official who I helped get elected, I’m in a pretty good spot to do that, aren’t I?” said Grandeau, a state ethics consultant.* A Manhattan federal judge ruled the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission violated the constitutional rights of thousands of drivers by illegally seizing their cars if they suspected them of illegal activity, the Post reports: * Uber biggest in Manhattan and gentrified Brooklyn and Queens (PoliticoNY)

True News Wags CapitalNY On Uber But Leaves Out Shadow Govt Lobbyists and Privatization of the Machine
Uber lobbied hard in New York before cap fight, too (Capital) Uber has more than 250 lobbyists and 29 lobbying firms registered in state capitals, not including municipal lobbyists, Bloomberg reported. Capital reported last week that Uber hired an army of some of the city's best known political operatives and lobbyists to run their campaign against the proposed regulations, including former mayor Michael Bloomberg's campaign manager Bradley Tusk, former Bloomberg spokesman Stu Loeser, Hillary Clinton ad man Jimmy Siegel, Clinton super PAC pollster Jef Pollock and Democratic operative Neal Kwatra. The Albany-based firm Hill, Gosdeck & McGraw, which lobbied only state officials, received $30,000 from Uber, state records show. Well-known Democratic political operative Patrick Jenkins’s Queens-based firm, which has lobbied both city and state officials, has been paid $45,000 so far. CIty-based lobbyist James F. Capalino’s firm has been paid at least $90,000 this year to lobby city officials, and Kasirer Consulting, the lobbying firm run by Suri Kasirer, earned $45,000, the records show. McKenna, Long & Aldridge, another Albany-based firm hired to lobby both city and state officials, has so far earned $60,000. Uber’s in-house lobbyists have earned $7,139 according to the state records. State lobbying records also show Uber paid $13,690 to the Knickerbocker Group for “newspaper ads to raise awareness about Uber Driver partnerships in NYC” and paid the firm $66,763 for “Direct mail to raise awareness about Uber-Driver partnerships in NYC.”
Both Cuomo and de Blasio Are Looking How to Get Some of Uber $$$
Uber's victory may be shortlived as de Blasio and Cuomo take aim (CrainsNY) The mayor says a vehicle cap remains an option if Uber falls short of its promises, and the governor plans to discuss statewide regulations with the company.
Uber was able to deftly outflank de Blasio on his home turf, co-opting pieces of his message, splitting him from his normal Democratic allies, and drawing together an opposition constituency that could haunt de Blasio in 2017. To do so, Uber deployed a sophisticated, expensive political campaign waged by lobbyists and strategists trained in the regimes of Obama, Cuomo, and Bloomberg. That campaign worked in part because even though Uber the company is motivated by the pursuit of profit, not social justice, Uber the product has some genuinely progressive effects. So Uber went straight at the mayor’s minority base, drawing it into its vision of the modern New York . The company’s ad blitz highlighted how Uber’s drivers are mostly black and brown. It held a press conference at Sylvia’s, in Harlem , where the company basically accused the mayor of discriminating against minorities by daring to try to rein in its growth. It pushed data to reporters showing that Uber serves outer-borough neighborhoods that for years were shunned by yellow cabs.
” The mayor is also realistic enough to know that if the Council had enacted the cap, Uber would have continued to hammer him, likely suing the city and trying to get Albany to step in on the company’s side. Crafting a compromise may yield better taxi policy, but it also avoids some political pain. For now, anyway. “Uber has a lot of the same consultants as the charter-school people,” a business leader who is sympathetic to de Blasio says. “To the mayor’s people, the possibility of that coalescing into an actual political opposition is a clear and present danger.”

Council Speaker Takes A Taxi Boss Campaign $ Bribe to Stop Uber
Yellow-cab backers gave Mark-Viverito $27K ahead of Uber vote (NYP) City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito hauled in more than $27,000 in campaign donations from yellow-cab interests in the months before the council proposed a cap on high-tech rival Uber, records show. The windfall included contributions from the president and three members of the Committee for Taxi Safety — which in March first lofted a nearly identical proposal to limit Uber. Other donors were yellow-cab medallion owners, drivers and industry lobbyist Michael Woloz — the largest bundler for Mayor de Blasio’s 2013 campaign for City Hall. Arthur Goldstein, a taxi- financing rep who works for the lobbying firm of de Blasio pal Sid Davidoff, gathered more than $6,000 for Mark-Viverito, who can’t run again for her current position in 2017 because of term limits. * .@Uber slams councilmembers—with one exception (CrainsNY)

The taxi contributions account for more than 9 percent of the $289,000 she took in during the latest filing period, Jan. 12 through July 11. The council is expected to vote Thursday on capping Uber’s growth over the next year at 1 percent, and smaller car-service firms at up to 15 percent, purportedly so the city can conduct a yearlong study of traffic congestion in Manhattan

Potential Uber cap has all the makings of a major scam (NYP) First, some City Council members said they wanted to study the congestion impact of the rapid growth of livery cars. That sounded ominous, given that so much congestion is a result of city policies, from bike lanes to delayed green lights to pedestrian plazas, and the council never cared before. Taxi moguls, meaning big owners of yellow medallions, have long been hefty donors to de Blasio, and gave over $500,000 to his mayoral campaign. Similarly, council members pushing the legislation have been cozy with the owners, and one, Ydanis Rodriguez, head of the Transportation Committee, even suggested a bailout for owners because competition is lowering the value of the city-issued medallions. * 700 Uber drivers could be fired under new bill (NYP) * A NYC Council bill aimed at capping the number of for-hire licenses allows Uber to add just 200 cars over the next year — and could force it to retroactively ax about 700 drivers who received their licenses after a mandated June 15 cut-off date, the company said. * Uber claims a New York City bill that would limit it to adding 200 for-hire licenses next year may force the app-based car service company to retroactively cut about 700 drivers, the Post reports:

Councilman Rodriguez on the Tit Of the Yellow Taxi Bosses
Councilman’s restitution proposal for taxi owners is nonsense (NYP Ed) What century does Ydanis Rodriguez think he’s living in? In a closed-door summit with taxi magnates this week, the City Council Transportation Committee chairman reportedly said the city needs to “study” why the value of medallions has plummeted — and “explore the possibility to pay restitution for those who value in that investment.” Uber’s roster of drivers has already passed the number of yellow-cab medallions. No wonder: Uber (and its rivals) offer a better deal. Median income for Uber drivers is $90,000 a year, vs. $30,000 for cabbies. And fleet owners often treat their drivers shabbily, to say the least. Adding insult to idiocy, Rodriguez tapped as co-moderator of his “summit” none other than fleet owner Gene Freidman — who was hit with a lawsuit the same day by Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.The AG accused Freidman of repeatedly violating cabbies’ rights — paying drivers a month late for rides charged to credit cards, falsifying receipts, bouncing checks to his hacks.

But state laws require that the DMV hold a safety hearing within 12 months after a fatal crash. During the hearings, administrative judges review what happened in the crash and can decide to suspend or revoke a driver’s license. “Why is there no justice?” said Stock’s mom, Dana Lerner, who was not notified by the DMV of the hearing date. “It’s the same thing over and over again. It’s an insult to my son’s memory. The DMV said that they waited to hold the crash hearing in Komlani’s case because it was “pending disposition of the criminal charges.”

Uber Slashes Fares on One of Its Products
“INSIDE UBER’S POLITICAL WAR MACHINE” by Daily Beast’s Olivia Nuzzi: “‘We’re in a political campaign, and the candidate is Uber, and the opponent is an asshole named Taxi,’ Travis Kalanick, the CEO of ride-sharing company Uber, said while on stage at a conference in late May. ‘Nobody likes him, he’s not a nice character, but he’s so woven into the political machinery and fabric that a lot of people owe him favors.’“Kalanick wasn’t bluffing. Uber really is the candidate: It has been interviewing potential campaign managers--real ones, from real presidential campaigns--for months. A source close to the hiring process told me, ‘They want somebody who has been steeped in that political warfare.’“... In the process of trying to force regulators to concede to its enormous popularity, ‘Uber’ has become, in some ways, a loaded political term. And observers and participants alike are questioning, in real time, how much government interference is too much. Uber, which in June was valued at $17 billion, appears to be launching a full-scale political operation—complete with backroom operators and face-saving strategists. “To combat governmental hostility, Uber has hired political muscle all over the country: in D.C., it has the Franklin Square Group (Apple, Google). In New York, it has Bradley Tusk (Michael Bloomberg’s former campaign manager). In Chicago, it has Michael Kasper (the lawyer who got Rahm Emanuel on the ballot). Additionally, it has lobbyists in Miami, Baltimore, Houston, and Denver. … “ http://goo.gl/zslmLL

A Manhattan judge slammed the brakes on the launch of the controversial ride-sharing app Lyft Friday — just four hours before the vehicles were scheduled to hit the streets.
UBER vs. yellows: "The price cut is definitely a shot at taxi," said Josh Mohrer, general manager for Uber NYC. "We can't be dominant if we're not both better service and better price." Put another way, Mohrer sees the temporary discount as a promotional device to hook more riders on Uber, increasing demand for Uber drivers, and thereby luring more taxi drivers away from the medallion rental business UBER CHEAPER -- Capital’s Dana Rubinstein reports that Uber, the ambitious San Francisco-based taxi app company, is temporarily making rates for its UberX service in New York City lower than yellow taxi fares: "We just dropped uberX fares by 20%, making it cheaper than a New York City taxi," said a notice on its website.

Users of the MTA’s Access-A-Ride service were diverted to taxis for 2 million trips, or 30 percent of the time, last year — largely with low-cost cab vouchers issued by the agency. In 2011, only 1.5 million trips, or 23 percent, were shifted to cabs by the program, which serves commuters with disabilities. Each subsidized cab trip saves the MTA $34.50, officials said.

Cabby who sheared off beauty queen’s leg is back behind the wheel(NYP) Himon claimed he was cut off by cyclist Kenneth Olivo, 41, and lost control of his cab after he tried to zip ahead of the pedal pusher. After the accident, the TLC suspended Himon’s license for 30 days, and he was slapped with a summons for operating a cab he was not authorized to be driving. But since neither the Manhattan district attorney nor the NYPD filed criminal charges against Himon, the agency reinstated his license, which he claimed last Sept. 26. The TLC — which has vowed to take new steps to keep dangerous drivers off the road — did ask Himon to voluntarily surrender his license, but he refused, an agency spokesman said. The Bangladesh native, who has been in the United States about five years, later admitted to The Post that he was a lousy driver, and records show he racked up three moving violations for nine points on his license in 2011, including citations for running a red light and driving 65 mph in a 45-mph zone. Himon briefly worked for Arthur Cab in Queens after the accident — but was quickly fired after the company discovered he had lied during a job interview. “I asked if he had any accidents. He said no. He drove here two days,” a manager said. “The TLC called and asked if he was working for us, and then they told me.”

better service we get higher fares. The Taxi lobbyist have so much
power over the Council they don't even attempt to trade higher fares

Judge Blocks New York City Plan for ‘Taxi of Tomorrow’(NYT)
A judge said that New York City had exceeded its authority by requiring cab operators to buy the NV200, the so-called Taxi of Tomorrow.A state Supreme Court judge blocked the Bloomberg administration’s Taxi of Tomorrow plan, saying the Taxi and Limousine Commission exceeded its authority by requiring nearly all yellow taxi operators to purchase the same vehicle, the Times reports * Taxi of Tomorrow Rejected by Court(WSJ) A state court on Tuesday rejected Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Taxi of Tomorrow program as an overreach of executive authority, potentially dooming a project to create a virtually uniform taxi fleet for the city.* A state judge blocked the city from requiring taxi owners to purchase a Nissan NV200 — the Taxi of Tomorrow — and City Hall aides there may not be enough time left in the mayor's tenure to successfully appeal. [Matt Flegenheimer] *Future Look of City’s Cab Fleet Uncertain(NYT)
* Soooo yesterday! (NYDN Ed) The Taxi of Tomorrow is soooo yesterday. By ruling that Mayor Bloomberg exceeded his authority in ordering all new cabs to be a single model of Nissan van, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Shlomo Hagler has, for all intents and purposes, ended this administration’s misadventures in deciding who will drive what cabs where and for whom.* Yassky: Borough taxis, like bike lanes, are here to stay
City and State Loser of the Week David Yassky – Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Yassky just can’t seem
to get their plan for a uniform fleet of taxis off the ground. First,
Comptroller John Liu twice rejected the city’s contract with Nissan, the
maker of the taxi model, on largely symbolic grounds. Then this week, a
state Supreme Court judge ruled that the city exceeded its authority in
requiring that nearly all yellow taxi operators purchase the same
vehicle. At this rate, with a new mayor coming in, the plan may not ever
get off the ground. We’re guessing when they dubbed the plan “Taxi
of Tomorrow”, they meant tomorrow as in the future, not “at some point
after numerous court challenges.”

สื่อดังตีข่าว เชลซี พร้อมควักกระเป๋าจำนวน 150 ล้านปอนด์ ตามที่ โบรุสเซีย ดอร์ทมุนด์ ต้องการเพื่อปล่อยตัว เออร์ลิง ฮาแลนด์ มาร่วมทัพ "สิงห์บลูส์" ซัมเมอร์นี้ โดยตอนนี้สโมสรได้เจรจากับเอเจนต์ของนักเตะแล้ว และเรื่องเงื่อนไขส่วนตัวก็ไม่มีปัญหาใดๆ ทั้งสิ้น
ReplyDeleteเชลซี สโมสรดังแห่งศึกพรีเมียร์ลีก อังกฤษ เตรียมยื่นข้อเสนอจำนวน 150 ล้านปอนด์ (ราว 6,600 ล้านบาท) ให้กับ โบรุสเซีย ดอร์ทมุนด์ พิจารณาปล่อย เออร์ลิง ฮาแลนด์ กองหน้าฟอร์มฮอต ย้ายมาเล่นกับ "สิงโตน้ำเงินคราม" จากการเปิดเผยของ "90Min" สื่อชื่อดัง
ทีมของกุนซือโธมัส ทูเคิ่ล พยายามไล่ล่ากองหน้าคนใหม่มาเสริมแกร่งในช่วงซัมเมอร์นี้ แม้ว่าพวกเขาเพิ่งจะประสบความสำเร็จในการคว้าแชม์ ยูฟ่า แชมเปี้ยนส์ ลีก เมื่อฤดูกาลที่ผ่านมา
จากรายงานของ "90Min" ระบุว่า เชลซี ได้เริ่มเปิดฉากเจรจากับ มิโน่ ไรโอล่า เอเจนต์ส่วนตัวของกองหน้าทีมชาตินอร์เวย์แล้ว โดยการพูดคุยเรื่องเงื่อนไขส่วนตัวไม่น่าจะมีปัญหาอะไร และ ฮาแลนด์ ก็พร้อมที่จะย้ายมาเล่นในถิ่นสแตมฟอร์ด บริดจ์
สำหรับตอนนี้เป็นที่เข้าใจกันว่า ดอร์ทมุนด์ ได้ตั้งค่าตัวของ ฮาแลนด์เอาไว้ประมาณ 150 ล้านปอนด์ และดูเหมือน เชลซี ก็ยินดีที่จะจ่ายเงินตามจำนวนที่ "เสือเหลือง" ต้องการ ซึ่งนั่นคงทำให้พวกเขายอมใจอ่อนปล่อยนักเตะออกมา เพราะหากฝืนรั้งตัวค่าฉีกสัญญาของเขาจะเหลือแค่ 65 ล้านอนด์ (ราว 2,860 ล้านบาท) ในช่วงซัมเมอร์หน้า
ทั้งนี้ เชลซี มีปัญหาเรื่องเกมรุกพอสมควรทั้งๆ ที่พวกเขาลงทุนไปเยอะมากเมื่อซัมเมอร์ที่แล้วด้วยการคว้านักเตะอย่าง ติโม แวร์เนอร์ และ ไค ฮาแวร์ตซ์ มาเสริมทัพ แต่ทั้งคู่ไม่สามารถผลิตสกอร์ตได้ตามที่ตั้งเป้าเอาไว้ ขณะเดียวกันยังมีรายงานว่า แทมมี่ อับราฮัม และ โอลิวิเยร์ ชิรูด์ อาจจะอำลาสโมสรช่วงซัมเมอร์นี้https://ipro889.com/

ReplyDeleteโชเซ่ มูรินโญ่ กุนซือชาวโปรตุกีสของ โรม่า ออกโรงวิจารณ์นักเตะซีเนียร์ของทีมชาติอังกฤษที่ไม่ออกมาอาสารับหน้าที่ยิงจุดโทษเป็นคนสุดท้ายแทน บูกาโย่ ซาก้า ปีกดาวรุ่งที่ยิงพลาดจนทำให้ ทัพ “สิงโตคำราม” แพ้ อิตาลี 2-3 ในการดวลจุดโทษตัดสิน และชวดแชมป์ไปอย่างน่าเสียดาย เมื่อวันอาทิตย์ที่ 11 กรกฎาคม ที่ผ่านมา
ซาก้า วัย 19 ปี เป็นหนึ่งในคนที่ยิงลูกจุดโทษไม่เข้าในช่วงดวลเป้าของเกมนัดชิงดำกับ อิตาลี แถมเขาเป็นคนยิงลูกจุดโทษคนที่ 5 ของทีมด้วยทำให้ทีมต้องชวดแชมป์ไป ส่งผลให้มีหลายฝ่ายออกมาวิจารณ์ อังกฤษ ว่าทำไมถึงปล่อยให้นักเตะวัยเพียง 19 ปีรับหน้าที่ดังกล่าว โดยที่จริงคนที่ยังมีสิทธิ์ถูกเลือกให้ยิงลูกจุดโทษในช่วงดวลเป้าของ อังกฤษ ก็ยังมีนักเตะที่มีประสบการณ์หลายคนเหลืออยู่https://ipro889.com/
