Uber sends push notification to users voicing opposition to mayor’s proposed $1-per-ride tax

Uber is taking its fight against Mayor Parker's proposed rideshare tax right to your phone. The company sent a push notification that said "Urgent: Stop the $1 tax. Keep rideshare affordable." City Council will hear public testimony on the issue Tuesday afternoon. The mayor has said the $1-per-trip tax on Uber and Lyft would save 340 jobs in the school district. (Photo by Michael M.
