Subsidize and finally in terms of the governments roll and we all everyday we make choices about what is the governments roll brown whether its an alcohol tax or helmets requiring people to wear helmets the government frequently helps to make sure that we have a healthyer society when we move towards 1 in 3 people having diabetes thats catastrophic it effects us as insurance watts rates goes up and our tax dollars taking care of people that dont have insurance we have a Orange County as a community to have those discussions and take steps to have a healthier community so colleagues with that, ill make a motion to adapt the technical clean up amendments weve mentioned at the beginning and thank you for your time and support thank you supervisor wiener we have a motion and a second do i want to comment.

Stores its cheaper to buy sodas then water i brought up the example to a v8 people dont realize how much sugar is in it and its billed as a health drink a i applaud you is there any Public Comment . So mr. Chairman we can close it. Seeing none, Public Comment is closed supervisor wiener. Thank you, mr. Chairman i want to thank everyone on both sides who come out theres a lot of views thats healthy thats what a democracy is about our debate and decision of the board is no to the enact the tax but to ask the voters if 2 3rds of them wants to generate 38 million a year and there will be a vigorous discussion but in the end the voters is weigh in. I thought that was a helpful hearing on both sides ive heard interesting things i want to respond or comment on a few of the themes. First weve heard a number of times this is a regressive tax on protecting contingence. Well you know what i will say people should look at the map that the department of Public Health put out the low income families

Im a clinic social worker working with unprivileged children for over 20 years im going to speak for the children when they come into our care they end up in foster homes and situations where they have to live outside their home and they start to talk about how they feel about being overweight and how their teeth are rotten and we can fix their teeth and give them milk and water the change in a childs selfesteem their progress in school and the hope theyre future is remarkable they want to be healthy the problem is i go into the neighborhoods to pick kids up theyre not good choices in the Corner Stores to get Healthy Drinks like milk or water their needs to be more choices but the changed in the 20 years ive been working with the children is unableable when i started the average weight of the child is probably 20 to thirty pounds difference in a kid its amazing so i support this bill and appreciate all you guys are doing thank you, mr.
