Wandering Dago, Inc. v. Destito, No. 16-622 (2d Cir. 2018)
Justia Opinion Summary
WD filed suit against OGS, alleging that defendants violated its rights under the First Amendment, the Equal Protection Clause, and the New York State Constitution by denying WD's applications to participate as a food truck vendor in the Lunch Program based on its ethnic-slur branding. The Second Circuit reversed the district court's grant of summary judgment for defendant, holding that defendants' action violated WD's equal protection rights and its rights under the New York State Constitution. In this case, it was undisputed that defendants denied WD's applications solely because of its ethnic-slur branding. In Matal v. Tam, 137 S. Ct. 1744 (2017), the Supreme Court clarified that this action amounted to viewpoint discrimination and, if not government speech or otherwise protected, was prohibited by the First Amendment. The court rejected defendants' argument that their actions were unobjectionable because they were either part of OGS's government speech or permissible regulation of a government contractor's speech.

Stop scratching on holidays
Published: June 1, 2012
Off Track Betting in New York State has been racing into a crisis called shrinking revenue. Some people have spitballed a solution: Don’t close on holidays.
New York State Racing Law bars racing on Christmas, Easter and Palm Sunday, and the state has ruled OTBs can’t handle action on those days, even though they could easily broadcast races from out of state.
“You should be able to bet whenever you want,” said Jackson Leeds, a Nassau OTB employee who makes an occasional bet. He added some irrefutable logic: “How is the business going to make money if you’re not open to take people’s bets?”
Elias Tsekerides, president of the Federation of Hellenic Societies of Greater New York, said OTB is open on Greek Orthodox Easter and Palm Sunday.
“I don’t want discrimination,” Tsekerides said. “They close for the Catholics, but open for the Greek Orthodox? It’s either open for all or not open.”
OTB officials have said they lose millions by closing on Palm Sunday alone, with tracks such as Gulfstream, Santa Anita, Turf Paradise and Hawthorne running.
One option: OTBs could just stay open and face the consequences. New York City OTB did just that back in 2003. The handle was about $1.5 million – and OTB was fined $5,000.
Easy money.

ALBANY — A Western New York county clerk has filed a lawsuit challenging the legality of a new law that allows people in the country illegally to obtain driver’s licenses.
Michael “Mickey” Kearns, an Erie County Democrat, says the new “law compels county clerks across the state to be an instrument to violate federal law.” He wants a federal ruling on the constitutionality of the law and an injunction to block it until such ruling is rendered.
Kearns filed the lawsuit late Monday against Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo — who signed the driver’s license measure into law last month after expressing misgivings — as well as Attorney General Letitia James and other state officials. It’s the first challenge to the new law, but others have been promised.
James said Tuesday the state law is well crafted and will withstand a constitutional challenge.
The driver’s license bill was approved in June, with the Democrat-led Assembly and Senate voting largely along party lines. Cuomo said he was concerned about whether federal immigration officials would be able to access drivers' information and use it for deportation purposes, raising the possibility of a veto. But, even without the assurance from the attorney general, Cuomo signed the bill into law — making New York the 13th state to allow immigrants in the country illegally to obtain licenses. The state law goes into effect in December.
In the claim, Kearns’ attorney said his client faces a predicament of either breaking federal law or risking removal from office by the governor.
If Kearns issues driver’s licenses to people in the country illegally, the lawsuit says, “he risks prosecution under a federal statute that makes it crime to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection an individual illegally in the United States. If he fails to implement (the law) he risks retaliation by defendants, including removal from office. Something has to give.”
Kearns contends the law is “unconstitutional and unenforceable.” Other upstate county clerks have promised similar lawsuits.
