Regressive

You know, I thought the West coast of the United States was supposed to be a liberal hotbed of progressive thinking and ideals.

Oh wait, it is.

But when two companies offered their chauffeur services at a cut-rate through Groupon in separate months last year, Portland responded each time by assessing fines on every Groupon sold: a total of $635,500 for Towncar.com and $259,500 for Fiesta Limousine. The firms refunded their would-be customers rather than risk going bankrupt.

There they go again, to paraphrase Reagan.  Subjugating one group in favor of another all in the name of "fairness" and forced equality.  Gee, it's almost like this has happened before and with spectacular results!
