 Sorry I've been real busy recently ( getting out 
  a news letter , http://cosy.com/K/CoSy/NL200305.htm , which
  does include a section on Liberty related activities )
 and I have a conflict this evening ( a friend from Junto who
 is having a birthday and new book release ) so won't be able
 to get to tonight's meeting , but possibly may be able to get
 to the FOX program tomorrow .

>=A0Dear NYC C.L.A.S.H. Member,
>
>=A0Thanks to the morning "newsguy," George Weber, on WABC talk=
 radio (770AM), the news of our court challenge was reported=
 every half hour on Monday from 5am to noon as the lead story.
>
>=A0Additionally, the Mid-Hudson News carried the story as well:
>=A0=A0=A0May 9, 2003
>=A0New York City smoking ban to be challenged
>
>=A0A group opposed to the smoking ban in New York City has hired a=
 Rockland County attorney to represent it in a lawsuit to be=
 filed against the Big Apple.
>
>=A0NYC CLASH =96 Citizens Lobbying Against Smoker Harassment =96 has=
 retained Kevin Mulhearn of Orangeburg to represent its members=
 in a suit to be filed in the weeks ahead.
>
>=A0Mulhearn is the same attorney who is representing the tavern=
 and restaurant associations against the counties of Dutchess and=
 Orange, which also have no smoking laws in place.
>
>=A0NYC CLASH will argue that the anti-smoking law is=
 unconstitutional, said attorney Kevin Mulhearn. =93I have been=
 retained by the organization to analyze the issues, to mount a=
 constitutional challenge to the efficacy and enforcement of the=
 law, which I am doing,=94 he said. =93I hope to file a lawsuit in=
 the next couple of months and our goal is to have the law=
 invalidated.=94

>=A0The City of New York imposed the law, saying second hand smoke=
 was harmful to employees of businesses.
