On this Sunday’s edition of News You Can Use on WTIC Newstalk 1080 at 5:30 AM and 9:00 AM, host Ann Baldwin sits down with Scott Dolch, President & CEO of the Connecticut Restaurant & Hospitality Association, to take a deeper dive into Connecticut’s proposed Sugar Tax (HB 5537).

They’ll break down the proposal in detail, including concerns around rising costs for consumers, added pressure on restaurants already facing inflation, and broader questions about its effectiveness as a public health measure.

The conversation will also explore how revenue from the tax could be tied to initiatives like school meal funding, and what this could mean for communities across the state. Don’t miss this important and timely discussion! For more information, visit www.ctrestaurant.org.
