    Not a clickbait title, the original bill covered all ride-sharing. He only struck at deal with Uber, and Uber only struck a deal so bills like this would spread and lead to them having to pay fair wages in other cities. He played the role of a corporate patsy and threw a hard-won citizens-supported bill in the trash in exchange for a small face-saving gesture.

      Out governor also vetoed a state-wide ridesharing bill earlier this year. The title includes none of the nuance, and a lot of inflammatory language. Reads like clickbait to me
