Lakewood Preparing for Soda and Candy Tax

Lakewood, Colorado is set to vote on Monday on a tax on candy and soda.

It is expected to pass, as it would bring in a lot of revenue for the city.

Also up for vote is a tax exemption for food for home consumption and all grocery foods.

The three percent tax would join a 3.75% tax already in place by Aurora.

Aurora's law set a definition of candy and sodas that Lakewood's law is expected to follow, if passed.
