DC Council Members Considering Restrictions on Sugary Drinks
As goes New York City, so go other big government towns
Several members of the D.C. Council have come out in favor of restricting the sizes of sugary sodas sold in the District - a ban similar to one in New York City.
At a recent debate between candidates for the at-large council seats, current Councilmembers Michael Brown and Vincent Orange said without hesitation they would vote to ban the sale of large drinks.

So Mr. Brown and Mr. Orange are for it. What do Mr. White, Mr. Pink, and Mr. Blonde think?
