Headlines from the day’s newspapers were read and telephone lines were open for viewer comments on the topic: “Philadelphia 1st Major City to Pass Soda Tax.” The telephone lines were divided between those who supported and opposed the tax with a line reserved for Philadelphia residents. Philadelphia Inquirer city hall reporter Tricia Nadolny reported by telephone on the background of Philadelphia’s new 1.5-cent-per-ounce tax on sugary beverages and sodas. Ads were shown in support of the tax from Philadelphians for a Fair Future and in opposition by Philadelphians Against the Grocery Tax.

The program concluded with a video clip from the C-SPAN’s Local Content Vehicles (LCVs) stop on their “2016 LCV Cities Tour” in Nashville, Tennessee. close
