Baltimore Residents Speak Out! Check out our latest videos on our Facebook page and below!
We pay a lot of taxes in Baltimore City. Now some politicians want us to pay even more.
Some politicians are pushing for a new tax hike on all bottles of soft drinks, juice drinks, teas and even bottled water sold in Baltimore City.
If this bill passes, Baltimore City residents will be forced to shell out an additional 5¢ on every beverage purchase- that’s 150% more in container taxes on everything from soda to bottled water!
Do the math: That means a 12-pack of soft drinks will cost us $0.60 more in taxes alone, and a case of bottled water would cost an additional $1.20.
Now is not the time for taxes at the grocery store.
Taxes in Baltimore City are already too high. And with unemployment hovering at a staggering ten percent rate, we shouldn’t be expected to pay even more—and especially not at the grocery store.
We can’t afford another tax when we are already struggling to make ends meet.
