Category Archives: Bloomberg Ban

I applaud the decision by the NY State Supreme Court Justice who struck down Mayor Bloomberg's ban on large sugary drinks. We don't need  elected official telling people what they can or cannot drink or eat!  The city Board of Health cannot be left unchecked!  I think Mayor Bloomberg  might have too  much time on…

The New York judge applied the correct constitutional test to the government’s attempt to place limits on citizen’s actions.  The ban serves no legitimate governmental control interest and is constitutionally inappropriate.

Hooray for the State of New York Supreme Court.  They have ruled correctly and constitutionally.  The mayor needs to focus his fight on crime/ illegal drugs and leave the sugar up to the individual and  "Weight Watchers!"

Finally, a voice of reason!  The law was ridiculous and needed to be shot down.  I just can't believe they're going to try to appeal.  Bloomberg ought to be trying to get to the root of the problem instead of legislating laws that hurt business and restrict our freedoms.  He should try removing some people…

The dietary issues as relevant to "sugary drinks" should really be left to the medical & health boards & their comparative analysis within harmful foods - as has been undertaken for the educational school breakfast & luncheon service.

Great News!  Glad the State Supreme Court stood up for personal freedom and capitalism.

Bloomberg is attempting a nanny state run amok. What ever happened to self-responsibility and freedom to decide for one's self?

I think this judge is saying that people have to take responsibility for their own lives and not have big government to determine every decision for them.  He is warning about too much governmental interference.

There is hope for this country when a Judge in NEW YORK actually has common sense!

Ah, yes, the nanny.
