Stick a pin in it: Denver's diaper tax could soon be washed away.
"It's a way to help save some money for struggling families," says Councilwoman
"It’s not a ton of money," Sawyer admits, noting that the city estimates it collects between $500,000 to $800,000 a year from tax revenue on diaper sales."But it is at least a little bit of money back in our residents' pockets." "One of my staffers brought it up to me, and until that moment, I had zero idea that there was a tampon tax, that the sales tax applied to feminine hygiene products, and I was immediately horrified that that would not be considered a necessity product," Clark recalls."There was broad support."
The measure, which will be up for a final vote on June 27, is likely to pass. All councilmembers have expressed support for it, according to Sawyer.
