On Friday, vendors running booths at the county's flagship fireworks event will have to comply with new regulations on their food and drink offerings for the first time since Howard County Executive Ken Ulman passed an executive order to ban sugary drinks and restrict other junk food in county buildings and at county-sponsored events.
While Ulman and health advocates have touted the regulations — the first and only of their kind in the state — as an important step in the fight against obesity, some vendors have balked at what they consider unnecessarily restrictive rules.

Well, I will retain my freedom of choice here, so If I cannot choose to have a burger made of real crap free beef and real sugar in my drink, then there will be no ticket sold here!
Good bye Howard County. You citizens, are being led by your nose.
Jim Rouse is probably turning in his grave. I knew Jim and his wife Libby, and his motto for Columbia was "..warm and human".
It is so sad to see the ghetto it (Columbia) has turned into.
Democrats libtards nanny nazi have no sense of what freedom means..dont force me to buy your crap ....these efforts will only result in low turnout
can't wait til he is the Lt Gov :(
Yeah, you can't have natural sugar... instead, have this chemically made substitute that causes cancer. Genius. Some people need a good throat punch from time to time.
Remember this guy is running for Lt. Governor. He will want to take his rules across the state.
I'm glad the gov't has enough free time to decide things like this. Sometimes I just can't make up my mind on what to have for lunch.
