TAX WHAT YOU DON'T WANT:
Seattle's sugary drink tax nearly doubles cost of Gatorade (Travis Pittman , January 08, 2018, KING5)
Jason Mercier from Washington Policy Center, which opposed the tax, shot a photo from inside a Seattle Costco that showed the price for a Gatorade 35-bottle variety pack was $15.99. That is until you add the new tax, which bumps it up by $10.34 for a total of $26.33. [...]The city says the tax is expected to raise $15 million in its first year.
