“While I appreciate the sponsors’ intent to ensure the safety of riders and drivers, House Bill 1291 would impose unworkable regulations on (rideshare companies) and potentially jeopardize the continued operation in Colorado,” Polis wrote in a letter explaining his veto. “I want to make sure that Uber, Lyft, and others will be able to continue to operate in Colorado, but are far more accountable for the safety of riders and drivers.”

Wow he really is just bending backwards for the corporations, screw you Polis. He says later on that legislation is still needed to address the issue, and I’m sure he’ll approve one full of industry talking points.
