Soda taxes go flat in California, possibly Washington

With apologies to Charles Dickens, it is the best and worst of times for soda taxes. News out of Washington State today is that Seattle's sweetened beverage tax raised about $1 million more than predicted in its first three months.

We spent 30 minutes talking about my work as a forensic accountant, with a focus on how I got into the specialty and how I developed my forensic accounting practice.
