(Minneapolis, MN) -- Uber and Lyft are not happy with a compromise on rideshare compensation proposed by state lawmakers and the city of Minneapolis.  

The compromise announced yesterday would raise rideshare pay to a $1.27 a mile and $0.49 a minute. The Minneapolis City Council had suggested a higher amount but has agreed to go along with the compromise reached at the state level. 

Uber and Lyft both say the rate is still too high and now say they will stop operating statewide if the legislature passes the measure.
