Gov. Tim Walz on Thursday vetoed a bill that would have mandated higher pay and job security for Lyft and Uber drivers in Minnesota, saying the legislation wasn't ready to become law.
“Rideshare drivers deserve fair wages and safe working conditions," Walz said in a statement announcing his first veto ever in his five-plus years as governor. "I am committed to finding solutions that balance the interests of all parties, including drivers and riders. This is not the right bill to achieve these goals."
