Minneapolis Council overrides mayor’s veto of Uber and Lyft minimum rates (minnesotareformer.com)

Dismissing Uber and Lyft’s threats to leave the city, the Minneapolis City Council voted 10-3 to override a mayoral veto of minimum pay rates for drivers.

The vote on Thursday sets up a six-week standoff between the progressive City Council and two tech giants, with Uber saying it will end service in the entire Twin Cities metro area when the rates take effect on May 1. Lyft says it will end service in Minneapolis when it takes effect.

Driver activists in the council chambers cheered after the vote was called in celebration of a significant victory after three disappointing vetoes in the past year — one by Gov. Tim Walz and two by Mayor Jacob Frey.
