[ Excerpt from: Santa Barbara Independent: New Taxi Stands for State Street ]

City councilmember Das Williams, who pledged his support of the cabbies last summer, has also personally met with a coalition of taxi cab members to assess their needs. “We can’t stop enforcing the law,” he said, “but I really understand that there are things we can do to help. This is the first step and, hopefully, we will continue to work together to ensure that they can operate effectively downtown. This probably shouldn’t be the end of what the city does to help them, but it’s a good first step.”
