Boston councilor proposes sugary drink tax to boost health programs, facing state approval hurdles.
Boston City Councilor Sharon Durkan proposes a tax of two cents per ounce on sugary drinks, aiming to reduce consumption and fund health initiatives.
The tax could generate up to $30 million annually for programs like food literacy and youth sports.
However, similar state-level attempts have failed, and some councilors worry about the impact on low-income residents and small businesses.
The proposal needs state approval to move forward.
