Minneapolis passes Uber and Lyft minimum pay ordinance with veto-proof majority • Minnesota Reformer

Ignoring threats that Uber and Lyft will pull out of Minneapolis — and perhaps the entire state — the Minneapolis City Council passed an ordinance hiking driver pay with a veto-proof 9-4 vote on Thursday.

Mayor Jacob Frey said ahead of the vote that he would veto the ordinance, just as he did last year when the council passed an ordinance with the same pay rates of $1.40 per mile and 51 cents per minute plus increases alongside the city minimum wage. Since then, voters have elected a larger progressive majority capable of overriding the mayor.
