"Yeah, good luck with that. ... "
"So the new law might well be ruled unconstitutional in a year, but in the meantime cops will be able to go about harassing people with it, just the same?"
"... declining a $10 bet that the new ordinance would be ruled unconstitutional again in another 18 months."
"... So the mayor doesn't care if the law is found unconstitutional again, in the end?"
"... Actually, on this issue, I don't think I am a cynic. However, I am disgusted—disgusted that our city places the interest of business and clear sidewalks above the constitutional rulings of its judges and the rights of its people."

Even when I agree with you, you sound like a douche bag. If this is News and not Opinion lets try making the slant a bit more subtle and the questions a little less high-school, shall we?
And can you please just present the facts and let the reader decide to be disgusted or not? You are the reporter, you already get to cherry pick the facts to present, and how to frame them. Try to use that power to evoke the feeling you want from your audience, rather than dictating to the reader how they should feel.
