I disagree with Rep. Ross Hunter’s position on the soda, bottled water tax proposed by the governor.

The environment suffers from huge amounts of plastic generated by bottled water and other drinks. Our communities would be so much better served by switching those Coca Cola plant jobs to a more sustainable use of resources.

I would like to suggest that he work with the local bottling plants to switch to producing something that would truly help our environment and encourage citizens to enjoy more healthful drinks.
