You can add another failed crusade to the dustbin of history.
Tempe Councilman Kolby Granville won’t get the city’s food tax repealed.
The defeat marks the second time Granville’s colleagues rebuffed his food tax proposal.

Granville had pushed for removing the tax because he believes it disproportionately harms the poor.
