Howard Co. Bans Distribution of Sugary Drinks on County Property

[yuca]

Howard County Executive Ken Ulman moved Tuesday to ban the sale of high-sugar drinks such as soda in parks, libraries and other county properties and at county-sponsored events — hoping yet again to make the county a progressive model.

"I believe Howard County government should lead by example," Ulman said. "That's why today I've signed an executive order to increase the availability of healthy beverage options in our county departments and programs.

I'm surprised they didn't just tax the heck out of them first, making sodas $10 a can. It's "for the children" after all.

Me too. Big Brother is alive a well. Must be the "hope and change" we heard so much about a year ago. No hope; we'll keep your change.
