“In this case, if the good people of Nottingham wanted a different result they would elect a different Sheriff.”
I don’t think that’s necessarily true. Besides, how would changing sheriffs help? The sheriff is just a lackey. Correcting the situation would require draining the entire swamp, perhaps even statewide, and who the heck knows how to do that?
In the meantime, I don’t blame UBER for doing what they should be free to do anyway.
Not in Nottingham. The Sheriff was the law.
Here, the people of Portland get to make their own laws about taxis in their city.
