got that right, the left are like locusts who destroy a state wiht their ignorant voting ways, then they nmove on mass to states here in the south from the north and , CO, WA, OR from CA.

They grow up voting D or they just want big Govt when it favors them but as soon as druggies want their drugs then to hell wiht big Govt instead they want to ban guns which is a constitutional right and make drugs legal so they can get high.

Then add the homosexual agenda, the cross dressing, what ever perverted sex they have agenda and then tell us in the south and mountain states we should have to put up with it because they went judge shopping and found a turd poking judge.

Forget the wall on the Mexico border by we need one on the Potomac and the mountains of CA

In a just world whatever civil servants worked on this soda ban would be fired because this was a total waste of time and resources when the citizens of the city face real problems not this made up crap.

Bloomberg is irate and has reportedly threatened to take the offer to fill the recently created job opening in Venezuela!

It was struck down because Bloomie’s board that he charged to write the law didn’t have the legislative power to do so.

Of course, any city council in the country could probably write such a law. It’s just a stupid and oppressive thing to do.

All kidding aside, many small business had already thrown away quite a bit of inventory to be in compliance with the new law. Small business’s have been hit hard by this.

A properly constructed lawsuit can help with that.

damage is done. all these locations already adjusted their way of doing business, recipes, cups and menus. It would not be a good idea to switch back in case he wins on appeal.

I wonder what the environmental impact of tossing all that glass ware, pitchers and plastic cups in the land fill and buying new is?

Nah, it’s a fairly minor thing to bring back the larger size. Quick service stores drop and add stuff all the time. The bottlers will be happy to help out. Doesn’t even have to be on the “main” menu — can use a placard or just word of mouth availability.

Nevada, Colorado, Oregon and Washington can attest to libs from CA who wanted to emplace their tentacles in fresh territory.

Pennsylvania can be added to that list as well.
