Kara is joining us from downtown. Uber and lyft drivers are not happy today. What is the hangup . Reporter you know, it all has to do with the fingerprint background chks. It seems like a simple thing. But from the beginning of this fight, both compan lyft, have said no way, were not going to fingerprint drivers. It comes down to time and money and sometimes the tests can be inaccurate. The county of course is saying its necessary and it will keep you safe. They found out from attorneys that the state law requires that they fingerprint any drivers that they regulate. All right. The next question that i have for you is ridesharing against that finrprinting, right . Rertthats actually true. Theres a coy called fare that prints their drivers right now. Theyre operating in texas. They came into the city of austin after the city implemented strict rules and they decided to play by the rules there. Theyre fingerprinting driversd successful. So the Hillsborough County ptc is hoping that uber and lyft leave and fare takes the business. Before we more people besides mayor buckhorn are questioning if we need the ptc to regulate uber altogether; right . Reporter yeah. Thats absolutely true as well. Its an argument that has been around for a long time. A couple of legislators say it will be a bill they will put before the legislature to get rid of the ptc altogether. Theres a letter saying that you need to look at the ptc to see if theyre doing something there. A lot of people begging now for the Florida State legislature to enact statewide laws that can put this to rest once and for all. Thank you, kara.
