Hooray for Berkeley! BERKELEY, Calif. — Berkeley voters made history in Tuesday by overwhelmingly approving a measure that will make Berkeley the first city in the country to place a tax on sodas and other sugary drinks, according to complete unofficial election results. Measure D, which won with about 75 percent approval, imposes a one-cent-per-ounce tax on sugary beverages. The tax is payable by distributors, not the consumers, and will affect businesses with annual gross receipts of more than $100,000.
