Last Roundup? Council Hearing Set Over Central Park Horse Ban.
The City Council will hold a hearing to discuss banning horse-drawn carriages from Central Park following the death of tourist Romanch Mahajan, who fell from a runaway carriage. The proposal, now named 'Romanch’s Law,' faces support from council members and the Central Park Conservancy but opposition from the Transport Workers Union Local 100, which represents carriage workers.
