They actually handed the win to themselves.

Yes tax votes are votes to take away more of your own money.

It takes a special kind of asshole to vote to tax what somebody else wants to drink.

Wtf are these creeps?

HOORAY Santa Fe voters. The conniving legislators who put this on a ballot should be ousted.

Good on them. This was so bad, that a powdered drink mix with sugar/sweetener in it would be taxed not on the net weight of the contents, but on what the container would make and the recommended mix ratios. The tax was $0.02/ per ounce. That means a 2-liter bottle of soda (which is 67.63 fluid ounces), which currently sells at WalMart (brand name, the WalMart brands are around a buck each) around here for about $1.35 would go effectively double in price to $2.70.

Naturally, chocolate milk and real fruit juices (with just as much sugar, if not more, per fluid ounce) would not be taxed.
