New York City Council ends 160-year tradition. Trump "saddened"

New York City Council passed the "Romancha Act," banning horse-drawn carriages starting in 2028, following the death of 18-year-old Romancha Mahajan in a carriage accident. The law aims to protect public safety and animal welfare, with support from council members and the mayor. While advocates celebrate the decision, carriage drivers protest, claiming it threatens their livelihoods. The union plans to challenge the ban in federal court. Critics, including former President Trump, argue the decision is overly influenced by a single tragic incident, marking the end of a 160-year tradition in Central Park.
