Press release… It was always our intention to protect the revenue that finances the County’s critical public health and public safety services. Now that the Appellate Court has rejected the emergency motion that would again prevent us from collecting the sweetened beverage tax, we believe we should move forward cooperatively and in good faith with the County’s retail industry. As a result, the County has determined that withdrawing its petition for damages would serve the public interest. - Posted by Rich Miller
