Artist Arrested in Pizza Protest at NYC Hall
Scott LoBaido's demonstration against new emissions law for pizzerias sparks debate over city priorities.
- Activist Scott LoBaido arrested for throwing pizza slices at New York City Hall in protest against new emissions regulations for pizzerias.
- LoBaido's protest targets Mayor Eric Adams's law requiring emissions control devices on wood- and coal-fired ovens, set to take effect on April 27.
- The law aims to cut carbon emissions by 75%, but critics argue it could harm small businesses and detract from addressing other city issues.
- LoBaido, known for previous pizza-throwing protests, compares his actions to the Boston Tea Party, symbolizing resistance against perceived government overreach.
- The incident has sparked debate over priorities in addressing city problems, with some supporting LoBaido's stance on protecting small businesses.
