Indeed, and that's good progress. But that's only one of their operating areas, and they've been ignoring those regulations for years already.

IIRC there are other regulations they're not complying with, but I don't recall what they are off the top of my head.

It's true and this is a long time coming. I think they are in Philly too, but they need to roll out more, especially with winter coming.
