NY Pols Vote for Anti-Lobbying Law Then Urge Lobbyists to Overturn

From NY Post:
Some City Council members who voted for a landmark bill that limits campaign contributions by lobbyists are privately urging the lobbyists to file a lawsuit to overturn the legislation.

"They're telling us we should sue," confided one well-known lobbyist. "They don't really want this."

The bill, eagerly signed into law by Mayor Bloomberg, severely limits contributions from people who do business with the city, such as the lobbyists.
