Sorry, sweetie: Candy tax kicks in Tuesday

The Seattle Times reports:

Washingtonians: It's time to stand up, be counted and develop a few bad habits, if you don't have them already.

Starting Tuesday, the state will rely even more on its citizens doing things they probably shouldn't — or perhaps shouldn't do as much.

Do you buy bottled water? Bad for the environment; good for state coffers.

Have a sweet tooth? Your dentist may tell you to cut back on candy, but your legislator might say please don't.
