Another twist in the Minneapolis ride share compensation impasse.
Council member Katie Cashman said she will recommend extending the implementation date of the controversial ordinance one month to June 1.
She believe that willl give state lawmakers at the capitol enough time to come up with a solution.
"I know Uber and Lyft have not changed their minds, they're still planning on leaving," said WCCO political analyst Blois Olson, appearing on the Morning News with Vineeta Sawkar.
Several upstart ride share services have indicated they'll move into the Twin Cities to fill the void.
"All things are going to come to a head at the end of the month," said Olson, whose company represents Uber.
The operators vow to leave the Twin Cities if the ordinance goes into effect on May 1, as scheduled.
In an email, Cashman says she'll recommend the one-month delay at Thursday's city council meeting.
Council member Andrea Jenkins is planning to call for reconsideration of the ordinance on Thursday at Minneapolis City Hall.
