Welcome to "Thank You For Your Service," a new UC3P Original Series.

Our hosts Thomas Krasnican and Nick Paraiso, first-year MPPs at the Harris School of Public Policy and active-duty naval officers, preview the show.

In this introduction, Thomas and Nick give an overview of the "civil-military gap" and what it might mean for society. They also discuss ways citizens can support military members and veterans beyond a simple "thank you for your service."

The Paul Douglas Institute, a University of Chicago student-run think tank, tasked two of its researchers with analyzing what went wrong with Cook County's sweetened beverage tax. The county board passed the tax in 2016, only to let it expire on December 1, 2017.

Researchers David Whyman and Teddy Knox speak with soda tax expert, Larry Tramutola, about why the tax failed, how it could have succeeded, and what the future looks like for soda taxes across the country. Mr. Tramutola led multiple successful soda tax campaigns in Berkeley and Oakland California.
