OGDENSBURG, NY - Nick Vaugh, Ogdensburg City Councilor, today introduced new legislation opposing Governor Paterson’s plan for a “Soda Tax” on soft drinks and beverage syrups.
Paterson’s 2010-11 proposed state budget calls for a “penny an ounce” tax on soft drinks and a $38 tax on five gallon bags of syrup sold to local restaurants and bars. This new tax would be on top of the new “Bigger, Better Bottle” deposit tax which is costing consumers and businesses an extra 6.5 cents for each bottle of water.
