Gypsy cabs out of control

It has been a long time since Saint Augustine has had safety check points.Besides getting drunk drivers off our roads an added benefit was making sure drivers were licensed and insured.
As a taxi driver these sure were a pain in the butt:however,they made sure I had the proper medallion,insurance and whatever the city required me to have.
  Yes these checkpoints were a hassle but Abraxi taxi would sure like them back.The gypsy cabs and the companies that employ them are out of control.
Taxi insurance is very expensive and the companies who cheat have an unfair advantage.For those of us who play by the rules I feel that we should be protected against unfair business practices.An example must be made for those that scam the system.And it should be swift and draconian.
The medallion the city of Saint Augustine requires comes at a mere fifty dollars per year.Taxi owners in other cities can pay several hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Competition is healthy but when others tilt the playing field to benefit them it is like giving the one finger salute to all the legitimate companies trying to run an honest small business and spitting in the face of law enforcement including our elected officials.
Abraxi Taxi says bring back the checkpoints to make Saint Augustine safer.And,protect the interests of us small business owners trying to run successful,legal taxicab companies and related services.
For those found cheating impound the cars and terminate any and all licenses they may have been granted.I am fine with steep fines and even jail time for a second offence.Drawn and quartered and drug behind our quaint horse and buggies I could endure.
Let's get proactive before we have an incident that involves these inglorious bastards.Thank you from StevenabraxitaxiCiccantelli.
