When John Parker's friend needed a lift to his medical appointment in Malibu from Simi Valley, his buddy didn't call an ambulance or have his wife or neighbor drive him; instead the 75-year-old hailed a ride-sharing service.

"It's much easier to put him in a ride-share and for…

'Tax On Jobs' Repeal Efforts Already Underway In This City

Just days after the city council's unanimous vote to pass the tax, a petition to repeal the tax is already circulating.
