Soda Tax Passed, New NJ Attorney General
 
  by: Rebel - Havertown, PA

Philadelphia has become the first major U.S. city to pass a tax on soda. City council approved the 1.5-cent-per-ounce tax on all sweetened beverages by 13-4, a wider margin than expected. The tax is expected to raise $91-million. The mayor plans to sign the bill Monday, but it won't take effect until January, because he anticipated a court challenge and says he's ready to fight.

New Jersey will soon have its fifth attorney general serving as part of the Christie Administration. Enter Chris Porrino, who left his post as Chief Counsel to the Governor less than a year ago for a private sector job. He now returns to Trenton as Attorney General, presumably for the remaining 18 months of Christie's gubernatorial term. Christie described his longtime friend in glowing terms before reporters in Trenton.
