The soda tax is back "on the table" and may be considered at a special session of New York's legislature Wednesday night, July 28. To contact your representatives, send an email to your legislators NOW and let them know you support the tax. Or, make a quick call to the leaders of the Assembly and House (see information below). To call the leaders of the Senate and Assembly and tell them you support a tax on sugary beverages: Senate Leader John Sampson: 518-455-2788 Please act NOW! Thank you for your concern and support. Sincerely, Sara
Please act right away to let your state legislator know that taxing sodas and other sugar-sweetened beverages represents a potentially powerful public health measure to attack serious and debilitating health problems and reduce the state's health care costs, as well as the personal suffering from obesity and overweight.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver: 518-455-3791
