Who is spending all the money to tell voters to “Vote yes on Question 1” on the Nov. 4 ballot? And just why do they want voters to reject the new tax on flavored water, juice drinks, soda, beer and wine? Voters need to know that the money collected by the new tax will be used to pay for some of the health care problems created in part by the use of the products being taxed. We have a high incidence of obesity and an epidemic of type 2 diabetes in the state of Maine. Common Sense dictates a “No” vote on Question 1.
