A judge has put Cook County's penny-per-ounce tax on sweetened beverages on hold at least until July 12. It was set to go into effect July 1. The ruling came days after the Illinois Retail Merchants Association and several grocers filed a lawsuit against the Cook County Department of Revenue seeking to block the tax, which they argue is unconstitutional and too vague.
