New York City Council Votes to Sue Bloomberg Over Homeless Rules 
-----------------------------------------------------------------



The New York City Council has voted to sue Mayor Michael Bloomberg over
new restrictions that critics say will force homeless people from
shelters out into the streets. Under the new rules, adults seeking to
spend the night at shelters would be required to submit information,
including documents, about their housing history and finances. The
council is expected to file its lawsuit next month.
