Soft Drink Tax Sought For Conservation Work
A Missouri statewide citizen committee in Columbia voted to seek voter approval for a soft drink tax to fund the Conservation Department. The plan aims to raise about $20 million yearly via a constitutional amendment, with seven of ten congressional districts needing signatures for a November 1972 ballot. The committee favors a one cent per bottle or can levy and will draft an initiative petition, coordinating with the soft drink industry.
