9 Things You Don't Know About the 2010 Ballot
Initiative 1107 Washington
The largest initiative campaign in Washington state is bankrolled by almost $17 million from the American Beverage Association in Washington DC. The group is trying to overturn a temporary tax on candy and soda that the state legislature imposed. While the beverage association has donated the most money, the Coca-Cola corporation is directly involved through the participation of one of their corporate vice presidents for public affairs according to campaign filings with the state.
