Bethel City Council’s vote on a tax on sugary beverages has been indefinitely postponed. The decision was made after extensive public comment at the April 27 city council meeting. The move effectively kills the proposed ordinance unless a council member chooses to resurrect it for a future meeting.
There were nearly four hours of public testimony, both for and against the proposed tax, which would have added a 1-cent-per-ounce tax to sugar-sweetened beverages. As an excise tax, it would have been applied directly to the distributor, but many argued that the cost would have been passed onto the consumer.
