Chicago mayor accuses Uber of 'paying off' black ministers to stop tax proposal.
The first-term mayor told the press that an alternative plan from Uber fails to address congestion and that the company has thrown"lots of Hail Marys because what they don’t want is to actually be regulated by the city of Chicago."
Josh Goldman, who works for Uber's public affairs department, vehemently denied the accusation as"categorically false" on Twitter. Goldman said Lightfoot was getting the $54 million figure from a plan the company had proposed that would have prospectively raised money her budget. Uber has urged Chicago residents to resist Lightfoot's proposed flat fee, according to NBC Chicago. The company emailed customers asking that they"Lobby Or Tweet" city hall in opposition to the tax hikes that would raise fares."After months of conversations with the Mayor’s office, we are making public our plan to raise the money the City needs in a way that is more equitable and doesn’t increase fees on South and West side residents by nearly 80%," the company said.
