    Today I signed a law to overturn the City of Austin’s regulation that trampled freedom & free enterprise. #txlegehttps://www.texastribune.org/2017/05/29/texas-gov-greg-abbott-signs-measure-creating-statewide-regulations-rid/ …

        Way to usurp the will of the people Greg. Uber spent $8M campaigning and lost, they lobbied you and the crooked R's and you sold us out.

        What else do you call politicians that can be bought? Or ones who subvert an election by the people of Austin?

        We can chose amongst 4 new ride shares now that all properly vet (background check) new drivers. Remember the vetting process?

        We did. For companies to properly background check their driver. Why don't you support small governments and elections by the people?

        We supported those regulations. So much for small government, I guess.

        56% of 17% of Austin's population supported those regulations enough to vote. Who are you to decide who I can and cannot do biz with?

        In other words, enough to enact them. If Uber/Lyft didn't want to play by the rules, they can beat it. Plenty of other companies did.

        "small government" is not government meddling in the private business between consenting parties.

        Reasonable safety regulations aren't "meddling", especially when the local population supported them.

        Absurd and flat out lie of an argument. Reporting disproved the narrative that their safety checks were less effective than Austin's.

        I don't care about the safety checks. I do care about companies acting like petulant little children when they don't get their way.

        Ah, so it isn't about safety. It's about you wanting to tell companies and their customers what to do. Aren't you being petulant now?

        Supporting Uber that just admitted it underpaid drivers in NYC and 20+ percent of drivers couldn't pass background checks!! Buyer beware!
