HTN: Suing the State over Business Grants

The case of a Western New York citizen who's suing the state over the practice of handing out economic development grants to corporations is heard at State Supreme Court in Albany. Plaintiff's attorney James Ostrowski says the state constitution expressly prohibits the state giving private entities money. Ostrowski says if the lawsuit is successful, it would mark the end of corporate welfare in New York. A motion to dismiss from the defendants was argued Wednesday. The judge in the case has not made a decision on the motion.
