Dear [Lawmaker],

I am writing to you as an employee in the beverage industry to express strong opposition to Senate Bill 238, as both a constituent and an employee of $q1: :. I urge you to vote against this harmful tax that would impose an unfair financial burden on families across Vermont and increase costs that would most likely impact jobs statewide like mine.

We deliver for our communities every day. Every day I see $q2: :. A new beverage tax would increase prices for hardworking families across the state at a time when they cannot afford more expenses. This tax could drive customers away, further jeopardizing local businesses and create new challenges for our industry as a whole.

Now is not the time to add a new tax that would have such negative consequences for our local economy and residents. There are better ways to raise revenue for state programs.

Please stand with local workers and beverage companies who are vital to the communities we serve. I am asking you today to vote against S.238 and reject this harmful beverage tax.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
______
