Not So Fast: Judge Blocks Mayor Bloomberg’s NYC Super-Sized Soda Ban One Day Before It Goes Into Effect

Long live the super-sized soda….. Judge Blocks NYC Super-Sized Soda Ban If you were one of the hundreds of people acting like your air supply was being threatened in the wake of NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s decision to ban to the distribution of drinks over 16 oz in all major restaurant and food establishments, you’re in luck. via CBS News Smaller sodas were set to hit New York City eateries tomorrow until a judge stepped in at the eleventh hour to strike down the new regulations. New York Supreme Court Judge Milton Tingling ruled Monday that the city may not enforce the new regulation, CBS New York reported Monday afternoon. The ban, which was set to take place Tuesday, applied to sugary drinks larger than 16 ounces sold at restaurants, fast food establishments, delis, sports venues and movie theaters. The limits do not apply to milk-based and alcoholic beverages sold at these eateries. Also exempt are sugar-sweetened drinks sold at grocery stories and convenience stores. Tingling said loopholes in the regulations defeated the limit’s stated purpose. “It is arbitrary and capricious because it applies to some but not all food establishments in the City, it excludes other beverages that have significantly higher concentrations of sugar sweeteners and/or calories on suspect grounds, the loopholes inherent in the Rule, including but not limited to limitations on re-fills, defeat and/or serve to gut the purpose of the Rule,” Tingling wrote in his ruling. So Bossip fam, whose side are you on in this debate? If the mayor of your city was able to get this type of soda ban into effect, would you hate it or love it ?

Yandy’s Boo Mendeecees Harris Faces Mandatory 20 Years In Prison On Federal Drug Charges!

He’s not out of the woods yet… Mendeecees Harris Faces 20 Years For Drug Charges Via Democrat & Chronicle Mendeecees Harris, 33, pleaded not guilty in federal court in Rochester Friday to a drug conspiracy charge. Harris has a key role in the VH1 reality show Love & Hip Hop. Because of a 2001 drug conviction in Maryland, Harris faces a 20-year mandatory sentence if convicted here. Harris is one of three New York City men accused of roles in a pipeline of heroin and cocaine to the Rochester region. The other two — Ronald Walker, and Harris’ brother, Tyrus Harris — were arrested last year and are jailed awaiting trial. Prosecutors allege the three trafficked more than $2.5 million in drugs between 2005 and August 2012. Walker and Tyrus Harris also have pleaded not guilty. At Friday’s hearing before U.S. Magistrate Judge Jonathan Feldman, Assistant U.S. Attorney Frank Sherman said he would request that Harris remain jailed without bail. Damn, that might mean a lot of cold nights in Yandy’s bed if Mr. Sherman has his way. The criminal indictment does show that police in August seized more than $1.5 million in cash from safety deposit boxes and homes linked to the alleged conspiracy. Also seized were a 2012 Land Rover and more than $406,000 in jewelry. Authorities are also pushing for the forfeiture of properties in Georgia and Baltimore. Damn, looks like Mendeecees might not be around for Love & Hip-Hop New York season 3. Good luck playa… Image via YouTube

Students Suspended For Serving ‘Kush Cookies’ To Their Classmates A group of teenagers in Maine are catching some Mary Jane-smackdown after they made cookies full of kush and brought them to school to serve to classmates. via Huffington Post “Kush”-laced cookies taken by a student to a Maine high school on a day ethics and values were being discussed have sickened some classmates. Nine students have been suspended, and police are investigating. Cape Elizabeth schools superintendent Meredith Nadeau says it’s unclear if all the students who ate the cookies were aware they contained “kush.” Some of them felt ill and went to the nurse’s office. School policy calls for a student who distributes or sells drugs to be suspended for 10 days and face possible expulsion, an action requiring a hearing before the School Board. SMH. These little bad azzes know they knew better than this.
