Re: A Penny An Ounce

Representative Bill Pascrell Jr., a Democrat from northern New Jersey, who supports a soda tax said that House lawmakers had considered including it as part of their health reform bill but decided it was too divisive. “It didn’t look like we had the votes,” he said.

Well I'm a little luckier than most. My Congressman is Scott Garrett. He's alot better than Pascrell.
