D.C. Council Appears to Take Proposed Soda Tax Off the Table
(Washington Post) — A majority of D.C. Council members signaled their opposition Thursday to a 1-cent-per-ounce tax on soda, probably killing the proposal for the year. The council’s decision followed several weeks of intense lobbying that pitted grocers and the beverage industry against nutrition advocates, including actor Morgan Freeman, who made a last-minute pitch in support of the bill.
