(Seattle, WA) -- Seattle Mayor Ed Murray says he's adding diet soda to the list of beverages he wants to tax to generate revenue for education and healthy-food programs. Murray now calls the tax the "sweetened beverage tax." The tax would amount to one-point-75 cents and would be added to naturally- and artificially-sweetened drinks including soda, energy drinks, juice, and sweetened teas in Seattle. The proposed tax is opposed by retailers, who say it will drive up soft-drink prices and cost jobs.
