Judge says unclear if NYC is fair when revoking licenses

By Jonathan Stempel NEW YORK (Reuters) - A federal judge in New York said it is an open question whether the city's Taxi and Limousine Commission treats drivers fairly in hearings over whether to revoke their licenses.

Stein nonetheless declined to declare the TLC license revocation process unconstitutional.
