James Walker is proposing a new golf cart transport service in Downtown Mobile

The Mobile City Council unanimously rejected a business plan for a new golf cart taxi service Tuesday. One city councilman said the idea of staffing the service with formerly incarcerated individuals made him vote against the proposal.

Last week, the council held a public hearing to consider James Walker’s application to start a new golf cart transit company downtown. Mob City Rides currently operates the only golf cart service in the area, and Walker said Zed LLC would bring “healthy competition” to the neighborhood.

Mr. Reynolds seems to be worried he'd be blamed for any problems more than anything. Is there any other job he could approve for them?

You'd think after being given a second chance at his Baldwin County Intoxication charge, that he'd be more forgiving
