The regulations are "fraught with arbitrary and capricious consequences," the judge wrote.
If it's not arbitrary and capricious, can it be New York City law?
In full seriousness: I'm always glad to see tyranny take a hit.

Finally a Judge with a brain. I never understood how Bloomers could get away with this. I hope it stands.

"....Judge Tingling also suggested that Mr. Bloomberg overstepped his powers by bringing the sugary drink rules before the Board of Health, which is solely appointed by him. The City Council, he wrote, is the legislative body "and it alone has the authority to legislate as the board seeks to do here."
The same could/should be said of Obamao and the EPA....

Finally some good news! And I don’t even like soda and I never drink it...
Now I hope they’ll go after some of the other stupid regulations Bloomberg has imposed, and then maybe he can concentrate on lowering the climbing crime rate, getting the “homeless” back under control, etc. You know, little things like that.
