Uber lift these countries are changing way we get around. Theyve under fire though. Especially in Hillsborough County. And today new restrictions for these types of services are being considered. Lets get to ken suarez where a meeting that just begun a little while ago. Man you had a one fired up guest in 8 oclock hour we just heard from him, right . Yeah. You know there were hundreds of people outside county commission building. They are inside now. Originally they were talking about voting on much stricter rules, you know they had a whole package of proposals. They decided no to the do that. Still hundreds of people turned out and are now kind of kicking around all of these issues that have been been controversial from the very get go. Now two of biggest ones most controversial ones include a 7 minimum charge. And seven minute minimum wait for either lift or uber folks. Those folks are saying thats really not fair. They are trying to level field with a taxi drivers. Why this they just up come up to our standards. Let me come over here to pete. We were talking last time. You were owner of a high tech business. What would it mean because theyve talking about this forever, threatening kind of if we dont get our way were going to leave . What would it mean to tampa or business like yours . Well as i said previously aside from stepping backward, i think it would also cost tampa a lot of jobs. Few minutes ago about how he picked up an uber job as supplemental thing to his income because he was struggling to send his daughter to day care. And if he couldnt send his daughter to day care he couldnt keep his primary job he was faced with yois choice do i do this thing that super flexible for my schedule, or do i just lose my job and collect unemployment. So i think i dont know what actual numbers are, number of uber drivers here in tampa. But i think that if uber were to pull out it would impact on our employment rate here in tampa lot of people use uber second income ive met a lot of professional that do that on side. Absolutely. I think its funny, i travel a lot being in technology business. Im in the cloud business. And its really interesting to me with uber, you run into a tons of people professionals one time i was taking a trip into the city and it was a professional individual white collar type person who was just on his way to work i like to have the camaraderie of talking to other professionals. A really Cool Technology thing. So one thing weve heard over and over again we really have to get this thing settled or uber could pull out lift could pull out if you think that couldnt happen austin, texas it did happen there. Reporter in there right now covering it throughout day we will bring you very latest about the issue. In meantime back to you guys. All right, thanks. See you later on. New this morning tampa police are warning people about thefts at several buildings on usfs campus Officials Say this was seen going inside of offices as Moffit Cancer Center last month afterwards people reported items stolen officials believe responsible for other thefts on campus. About a week later williams was trespassed from usf. It is forever a huge debate. Sex education in school when, where, how and how much information abstinence versus safe sex coed classroom single jerpd. Debate goes on and on. Is taught. Now for the first time theres a big study out this morning and it asked the kids themselves what they liked what they didnt like what what they found helpful from sex ed classes. Fox 13 jen epstein is here now where more on their very candid thoughts. When we say big study, we mean huge. Researches asked teens ages 12 to 18 and ten Different Countries from australia, ingland and u. S. To more conservative countries like japan. Thousas some sort of or some form of sex ed. Scientist found majority of teens said the course itself was useless out dated and not the information they want or need. The teens said the information they did get was often given too late a lot of programs preach abstinence which teens say is irrelevant. Most of them say by time they graduate high school theyve had some form of sexual encounter. So when teachers talk about abstinence the teens tune out. The current curriculum. Students se courses often infer the girl as passive and paint boys a predator which is they say is out of date. They say teacher as uncomfortable talking about sex with their students, nor do they the teens want to talk about sex with at teachers. But also, this, they say the material focus on biology of sex, but what they want to talk about are nuances instead of presenting sex as problem they want guidance on how to deal with their sexuality in safe they want information on the emotional part of intimacy, saying they can find biology of it online. Now another issue the teens find fault with, the course talks differently about heterosexual sex and ignores gay, bisexual and transgender students. Thank you, jen.
