Jackson Township, NY: Legal Threats Force Town to Rescind English-Only Ordinance

Jackson Township, NY: Legal Threats Force Town to Rescind English-Only Ordinance...The sponsor of an English-only ordinance in a small NY town is bracing for the measure to be overturned by his fellow council members. Councilman Roger Meyer said the threat of legal action by the state A.G., as well as the ACLU, leaves Jackson Township little choice but to back off its determination to have the English-only law. “I’m sure it will be voted down at the next meeting,” Meyer said, “because of the threats of the ACLU and the Attorney General.” “We can’t afford a lawsuit, we’re just a very tiny town.”
