Protect Vermont's Working Families and Local Businesses from a Harmful Beverage Tax!

The Vermont State Legislature is considering a new tax on sugar-sweetened beverages, which would increase the prices on already too-expensive groceries across the state, hitting working families and local businesses the hardest.

The cost of living is already too high across Vermont, which is why we are asking you to take a stand against this harmful tax.

Send a letter to your lawmakers to make your voice heard, NO HARMFUL BEVERAGE TAX!

Dear [Lawmaker],

I am writing to you to express strong opposition to Senate Bill 238, and urge you to vote against this harmful tax that would impose an unfair financial burden on families across Vermont and increase costs that would impact local businesses across Vermont.

This tax would cause costs to add up quickly and increase prices for hardworking families across the state at a time when they cannot afford more expenses. This beverage tax could also drive customers away, further jeopardizing local businesses and creating new challenges at an already difficult financial time.

If this tax were to pass, the results would be detrimental to local businesses and our community as a whole who need support. Now is not the time to add a new tax that would have such negative consequences; there are better ways to raise revenue for key state programs.

Please stand with working families and the local businesses who are vital to our communities. I am asking you today to vote against S.238 and reject this harmful beverage tax.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
______
