Atlanta City Councilmember Antonio Lewis has announced his intention to work with state lawmakers to ban cashless businesses across Georgia, seeking a balance of innovation and inclusion in payments that will ensure they serve every corner of society.
Speaking to WABE—an independent, non-profit source of local stories in Atlanta—Lewis states that he respects the decisions of business owners to transact in the ways that suit them, but points out that cash is by nature the most universal, given it is usable by anyone, anytime, anywhere.
