As controversy swirls about ridesharing services Uber and Lyft in Omaha, Kansas City Mayor Sly James took to his blog to share his thoughts on the situation. James says the City has and is willing to work with ridesharing programs in KC, but only if they make an effort to comply with public safety regulations and make an effort to work with KC’s government entities as well. “This is not a case of the ‘big, bad City’ out to set back entrepreneurs,” James wrote. “This is a case where the City is willing to work with ridesharing companies in order to bring safe, innovative services to Kansas City.” — Source: The Office of the Mayor Sly James
