...legislation that imposed a one cent tax per 4.2 grams of caloric sweetener in sugary drinks.

When you see a suspicious odd number like 4.2 grams, not 4 not 5, but 4.2, you know some lobbyist has greased the palm of some pol writing the legislation to help their company and damage the competition.

follow the math. 4.2 X 100 = 420. Besides being a code for Marijuana, which they are obviously smoking, it is close to 453 which is One Pound. So the tax is around $1.00 per pound.

SO the tax will be $1.00 for every 16 ounce drink.
