Rico Acts!

City Councilman Manny Rico may love buffets, but he's no lover of corruption. He's been calling out the Chattanooga Taxi Board for functioning like a monopoly, disallowing any new Taxi business start ups.

Mighty Joe Lance has the rundown here. Michael Davis has a followup on a possible Transportation Board here.

Interestingly, the Taxi Board was once (and may still be) chaired by "2006 Mustache of the Year" award winner Donald J. Aho, Esq. Kind of ironic, since he specializes in Anti-trust & Trade Regulation law. If only the Taxi Board was as well manicured as his 'stache.

You keep lettin' that light shine Manny!

I'm assuming others have realized that the estimable Mr. Rico shares a name with the primary federal anti-racketeering statute?
