The suit was based on a 2007 Court of Appeals ruling that ordered the state to provide more aid to New York City schools.
Municipalities involved in the “Small Cities” lawsuit include Mount Vernon, Poughkeepsie, Newburgh, Niagara Falls, Port Jervis, Utica, Jamestown and Kingston, Lohud.com reported. An appeal is anticipated.
