Maryland looks to enforce soda fountain fee

March 24, 2009

ABC 2 News: The Maryland comptroller wants to enforce a nearly century-old law that established a $25 to $60 annual soda fountain license fee that many counties haven't used for years. If enforced, all restaurants, convenience stores and other places with soft drink dispensers would be charged the fee for each soda fountain they operate. A county delegate is calling for a repeal of the law.
