"What a Company Decides to Put on Their Vehicle Is a Matter of Free Speech and the Market"
A tiny free speech victory.
From an interim decision of Colorado public utilities commissioner Frances Koncilja describing proposed new rules for various Colorado taxi and car services, handed down May 25:
The attached proposed rules attempt to remove some regulatory burdens and define and impose certain safety requirements as follows: …
i.) Exterior Markings for Luxury Limousines—(Rule 6304).—deletes the prohibition on exterior markings other than the [Public Utilities Commission] number. What a company decides to put on their vehicle is a matter of free speech and the market.
Hear, hear!

Reason readers struck dumb.
Probably some corrupt crony decided not to pony up his share for the month and the commission is letting his competitors eat him up. If they know what’s good for them.
And they said there was no need for a bill of rights – it was all in the Constitution. Thank you, anti-Constitutionists.
Wait’ll they get a load of the logo for my company “Huge Tits Livery.”
They’d best be careful, as it might apply to cake bakers.
