Taxi Nazis
An Aspen judge sentenced a 76-year old man to jail for 15 days for operating an unlicensed taxi service. The senior citizen said he does not operate a taxi for profit but merely enjoys giving friends and service-industry workers a ride home late at night. The money he collects pays for gas and upkeep on his vehicle.
Sullivan doesn’t hold a state license to operate a cab, and drivers for other local cab services, primarily High Mountain Taxi employees, have complained that his presence on the roads in and around Aspen is unfair and that he should be forced to play by the rules.
