A Teamster-affiliated Taxicab association is touting this as “major victory.”

Members of said Taxi Operators Association will hold a rally outside One Judiciary Square before the monthly D.C. Taxicab Commission meeting, presumably, to discuss their issues with the modernization requirements.

“As an immigrant to this great country, I know full well the challenges and difficulties that brings. If my comment was interpreted as offensive, I certainly apologize.”

Through a complaint and a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction filed today in D.C. Superior Court, the Association seeks to delay the implementation of modernization regulations, claiming that some drivers have been placed on an “indefinite waiting list” to install dome lights.
