NY Supreme Court rules Bloomberg out of bounds on soda ban

Roll Call - The New York Supreme Court’s Appellate Division has upheld a lower court ruling blocking Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s ban on large sodas and other sugary drinks, the New York Daily News reports.

Politico: “The state Supreme Court’s appellate division determined in a unanimous ruling that Bloomberg’s effort exceeded the city’s authority because it was enacted without legislative approval. The court also concluded that drinking sugary soda is not inherently dangerous if done in moderation, and therefore, the Board of Health’s decision to restrict it is out of bounds.”
