Struggles Predicted for Suits Against NY Soda Ban |
| Experts say that if groups attempt to file suits to block a new law in New York banning large-sized sodas, they may face an uphill battle in the court system. Harvard law professor Michelle Mello said that many states put restrictions on products sold in-state, and that it would be "hard to believe that this would be singled out as unreasonable by a court." The state health board is expected to pass the plan later this year. Joseph Ax, Reuters 06/04/2012 | Read Article: Reuters |
