Portsmouth NH Commission Recommends Eliminating Itself

UberI’d call this a win for Dan Innis.

(SeacoastOnline) PORTMOUTH- In response to Uber ride-sharing drivers now working in the city, the Taxi Commission on Wednesday recommended the elimination of taxi medallions, regulation of taxi fares, city taxi inspections and the Taxi Commission itself.

The commission voted unanimously to send a memo to the City Council outlining its recommendations to lift many regulations currently imposed on drivers-for-hire.

Cataldo said if commercial drivers are deregulated, there will be no need for the commission and he recommended that it be abolished in six months. Assistant Mayor Jim Splaine, the council’s representative to the commission, said he’d like to revisit that suggestion at a later date. 

How often does a commission suggest its own dissolution?
