Dave, I'm sorry to be partly to blame on this one. The fine folks in Springfield found out that guys who don't drink will likely have to eat candy to satisfy the subconscious urge for beer. Therefore, additional taxation must be applied to my candy purchases. I think I read somewhere that state senator Ben Dover sponsored this legislation.
