This article from the NY Times on Sunday discusses the potential for a soda tax to spread to more cities in the US. It talks specifically about Philadelphia and how the tax money raised was earmarked for universal pre-K as we have discussed in class. It also touches on whether the soda tax is in fact regressive or not. Overall really interesting piece with direct relevance to what we have been learning.
