We know that people feel taxed enough, especially in a year of high inflation. That’s why we continue to advocate for affordable groceries and protecting consumer choice by uniting against unfair taxes and regulations. Taxes on everyday grocery items—like teas, sports drinks and more—are simply bad policy. That’s why we advocated against a new beverage tax when discussions arose in Vermont. While a proposal never materialized in Vermont, we know that having conversations with lawmakers on better way solutions is critical—to consumers and small businesses.
