New York City’s Bloomberg regime was trying to force taxi companies to use only cars made by Nissan!  Fortunately a New York state court blocked the economic martial law order.

The Bloomberg regime wants all taxi companies to use the Nissan NV200 minivan.  Can you say “Bloomberg is UnAmerican!”?

New York’s State Supreme Court ruled that local governments can set standards for the type of vehicles used, but cannot order companies or individuals to purchase a specific brand/model of vehicle.

The Bloomberg regime claimed that by making taxi companies use the same vehicle it would increase safety, somehow.  Taxi companies and taxi driver’s unions took the Bloomberg regime to court, and won this round.  The Bloomberg regime is appealing the state supreme court decision.
