NYC sued over proposed cap on art vendors in parks

I've been covering Mayor Bloomberg's push to choke out the the artists markets that spring up in the parks. It's more crowded lately because people are hustling hard for cash. It's not that Bloomberg is trying to open the space up in the parks. That's how he's trying to sell it. He's just trying to circumvent laws protecting artists so he can sell the space to offical vendor like the giant Union Square fuckstorm, the Christmas Market.
The NYCLU actually stepped in early in the spring to endorse the artists' and penned a letter to the parks office urging them to consider keeping the current laws in place rather than try to limit artists in NYC parks. I'll keep covering the story, and I'll try to keep selling drawings in Union Square.
