re: Damn I’m glad I live in the south.

I'll never go back to Boulder, CO for any reason. They enacted the sugar tax while we were there.

quote:

---

The Sugar Sweetened Beverage Product Distribution Tax is a voter-initiated tax that was adopted by Boulder voters in the November 2016 election. It places a two cents per ounce excise tax on the distribution of beverages with added sugar and other sweeteners. The tax takes effect on July 1, 2017 and revenue will be spent on health promotion, general wellness programs and chronic disease prevention that improve health equity, and other health programs especially for residents with low income and those most affected by chronic disease linked to sugary drink consumption.

So, of course, all the service stations just outside the city limits are now selling the shite out of Coke.


Then they tried to ban "assault weapons" LINK


Everyone there knows better than you and they all had the attitude that goes along with it. Hated it.
