To the assembly members the cab drivers of Anchorage were just an easy target, nothing else. We all know that they did not do a complete comprehensive study to get to this decision, it was already decided. the plight of the cab drivers whom are historically misunderstood by many just got worse; There was a shooting at the Gaslight bar last night, one person is dead and two are in jail. The liquor industry must be next. They need to be deregulated and held accountable too, maybe that's where the assembly needs to be focusing on next so that they can have a lot of competition and innovate and relieve the city of such crimes. Cab drivers operate in this kind of environment and bravely risk their lives trying to make a living The assembly's erred and unjustified move is just one of the many situations they face, including the hearings that they were subject too, which was a joke, just a due process.
