Is Mayor Bloomberg over stepping his bounds when tries to ban large sodas.

The mayor of New York City Michael Bloomberg has come up with a plan of banning large soda and sugary drinks from restaurants as well as other city venues. The proposal of the ban was that it starts on March 12. However, on March 11 the ban was overturned by the State Supreme Court in Manhattan.

This ban was announced last May with the aim of prohibiting restaurants from selling or serving soda in larger containers that are more than 16 ounces, (John Mihovics, 2013).

Some have supported the move arguing that Bloomberg just wants New Yorkers to be fitter and healthier, however this plan question the degree of power that a mayoral position is allowed to assert over a city.

According to the judge, this proposal is erratic and undeserved, though the court describes it to out of good intention since the mayor holds the health of his people in his mind. Overturned the decision is much welcomed by soda companies. For example, one of the American Beverage Association spokesman describe the decision as a sigh of relief.

Conclusion

Even though many have had sigh of relief, if that will remain with that an ultimate refusal to ban the 16 fluid ounce drinks, or whether Bloomberg and his supporters may manage to change the decision of the court and implement this unfavorable new measures......
