Bethel City Council Tables Sugary Beverage Tax Hearing


  
You may have seen the ads and mailers around town or on Facebook either for or against the proposed sugar-sweetened beverage tax, but what is it? 
The proposed tax would be applied to sugar-sweetened beverages in Bethel. The proposal would add a 1-cent-per-ounce tax to soda pop and other sugar-sweetened beverages. Funds generated from the tax would be applied to specific projects sponsored by Bethel’s Parks, Recreation, Aquatic Health, and Safety Center Committee. Such projects could include a new community gym, fortified boardwalks, or better-tasting city water. 
 
In the April 13 meeting, proponents and opponents came out in droves to share their thoughts on the matter. Proponents of the tax underscored that it is an excise tax rather than a sales tax, meaning that distributors of the beverages don’t have to pass the tax along to their retailers and consumers. Opponents said that it was naive to think that a business would absorb the fiscal burden of ....

Bethel City Council Dips Into Budget To Renew Airport Testing Incentives


  
When you get off the plane in Bethel, you can get a gift card for a local business and a shot at winning $1,000 in a raffle. The only catch? You have to take a COVID-19 test at the airport. The program lapsed briefly, but the city council just voted to start it back up on Jan. 12.
 
When the city began the incentive program back in June 2020, they hoped that it would up the airport testing rate for passengers arriving in Bethel to 100%. But the Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation said that incentives or no, the testing rate has hovered between 50% and 75% of passengers since testing began.  ....

The controversial sugary beverage tax prompted hours of discussion by Bethel residents, advocacy organizations, and city council members in last night’s meeting. The council voted to introduce the ordinance, but tabled the public hearing and final vote until April 2021.
If adopted, the ordinance would add a 1-cent-per-ounce excise tax on sugary drinks. That would add $1.44 to the cost of a 12-pack of soda, to be paid by the distributor.
Residents who support the tax said that it could reduce the consumption of sugary beverages and the adverse health outcomes that come with it. Bethel Dentist Tucker Burnett cited a 2008 study that found that young children in the Y-K Delta have five times more tooth decay, fillings, and missing teeth than the national average. “And I m here to tell you that the number one cause, absolutely, is sugary drinks,” said Burnett in the meeting. ....
