The taxi industry is fraught with both litigation and regulation. So it's not surprising that industry players are lining up behind various candidates for mayor of the city of New York.
The Wall Street Journal has a nice story about various sectors of the industry are picking sides. Livery cab owners are backing Bill Thompson, who backs the outer borough taxi plan. Yellow cabs are backing Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, who opposed the plan, or at least the way it was passed without the City Council. Some yellow fleet owners backed Anthony Weiner early on. Considering what's happened since is kind of like catching a cab and realizing a block later that you forgot your lunch box and had to go back home.
