As Horse Carriage Ban Gains Allies, Lawmakers Promise New Jobs With Few Specifics
Lawmakers are advancing a proposal to phase out horse-drawn carriages in Central Park following the death of a teenage tourist, Romanch Mahajan, who was killed in a June 17 accident. The bill, now called 'Romanch’s Law,' faces opposition from carriage drivers' union and lacks detailed job transition plans for affected workers.
