Cabbies' suit says hybrid rule threatens work Boston Globe -- A group of taxi drivers and medallion owners is suing the City of Boston to block the requirement that all 1,825 cabs in the city be hybrids by 2015, saying the measure could put many of them out of business.
The plaintiffs say they do not oppose hybrid cars and generally favor the greening of the fleet. But they bristle at a regulation that they must buy new hybrids instead of less expensive used ones, and want the city to delay the changeover.

The slippery slope gets a little bit steeper...
Yes that was ambiguous and no I don't want to debate. Just mouthing off that I think the government is getting far too handsy on our daily lives.
