In case you missed it, the New York State Supreme Court's Appellate Division unanimously declared the soda ban an overreach of executive power earlier today.  This is an affirmation of Justice Milton Tingling’s March lower court ruling that deemed Mayor Bloomberg’s proposed ban on sweetened beverages sold in containers larger than 16 ounces “arbitrary and capricious.”

We are pleased that the lower court’s decision was upheld.  With this ruling behind us, we look forward to collaborating with city leaders on solutions that will have a meaningful and lasting impact on the people of New York City.
