Ask voters to approve 1-cent tax on each ounce of sugary drinks
In Plain English
The city wants to create a new business license fee for stores that sell soda, energy drinks, and other beverages with added sugar. If voters approve in November, businesses pay 1 cent for every ounce they sell. A 20-ounce Coke would generate 20 cents in city revenue.
