Seattle Lawmakers Rule Not to Be Cruel, Approve Change in Cabbie Dress Code - KTRE.com | Lufkin and Nacogdoches, Texas
Member Center:
The 'King' could be your next cabbie in Seattle.
Seattle's city council has voted to allow taxi drivers to wear costumes if they wish. The new regulations follow a run in between taxi inspectors and cabbie Dave Groh, an Elvis impersonator. He was fined 60 dollars last spring for not wearing the required black pants and a crisp shirt. Under the new law, drivers will be allowed to wear costumes that depict a "readily identifiable and generally well-known public figure, personality or fictional character." But masks aren't allowed. Groh told the council after the vote, "Uh, a thank you verrah much." Copyright 2003 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
