Judge Drops Gambling Records Charge in Prostitution Case
In Monroe, Greenblatt argued there was not a shred of evidence that the woman possessed policy slips, leading to dismissal of the illegal possession of gambling records charge. Remaining prostitution counts stay, with trial urged only on the 11th indictment count. The ICC also rejects Short Lines fare hike reconsideration, setting a July 21 hearing at 26 Federal Plaza as cost studies become public. The agency suspended increases to December 6, citing unjust and unreasonable charges under the Interstate Commerce Act. Hudson Transit Lines warns of service cuts without revenue gains.
