Do you support expanding the “bottle bill” to include non-carbonated beverages, such as water and juice?
Is the idea just a tax in disguise? Or is it an effort to clean up our environment? Or both?

Note that this perennially-filed bill finally got through the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy for the first time last session. I serve on that committee, so I am looking for input on the topic. Vote in the poll at the top of this page and weigh in with your comments below.
This state doesn't do anything unless there's money in it
ReplyDeletePlease Update the Bottle Bill Now!!
ReplyDeleteIt is very important that we update the bottle bill. Thanks.
We need to do this now. So many juice, water, sports drink bottles going into landfills. It's unconscionable! It's a no brainer! Update our bottle bill.

It is Not a tax. It is fully refundable? Taxes are NOT fully refundable. We need to update the bottle bill now. It saves money for towns and cities.
ReplyDeleteNot a tax?.....ok, it is a fee.
ReplyDeleteWe need to update the bottle bill now. There are too many water bottles on our streets, roads, parks, and public places. We all benefit from reduced litter.
ReplyDeleteThe expanded bottle bill is a good idea. I hope Mr. Hunt votes for it and tells Mr. DeLeo that a majority of people in the state want to see it passed.
