There was definitely some "controlling of the message" going on- every headline said "Force Uber to charge 5x the price", when the actual amendment enforced a $15 minimum- probably less than 90% of Uber rides.

Not supporting the amendment, of course- just saying.

I think the core issue was that Uber was planning to introduce a cheaper service than they have currently and the amendment would have effectively prevented it from working.
