New York Court of Appeals
In the Matter of Robert L. Schulz, Appellants, Petitioners v. State of New York, Respondents
June 14, 199586 N.Y.2d 225
Summary
The Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of the plaintiffs' third and eighth causes of action and reversed the Appellate Division's dismissal of the sixth cause of action, reinstating the claim that the State's use of public funds for a partisan newsletter violated Article VII, § 8(1) of the New York Constitution. The decision also notes a dissent arguing the newsletter was permissible government speech.
