Maybe it's simply an oversight if your Senator and Representative has yet to co-sponsor this legislation.
Dammit! This is time to reduce every expense of municipalities - EVERY EXPENSE!
That includes reducing the costs of TRASH and reducing roadside trash.
Let's get this done! Please remind them to co-sponsor this.
This from:
MASSPIRG
The Updated Bottle Bill will increase recycling, reduce litter, and save cities and towns money in disposal costs.
Please take a minute to call your state representative and senator and ask them to sign on as a cosponsor by Feb. 4.
Talking points:
I hope you will add your name as a cosponsor to the Updated Bottle Bill.
The Updated Bottle Bill would add bottled water, sports drinks and other beverages to the current bottle deposit system so these containers would get recycled instead of littered or trashed.
Please contact the offices of Rep. Alice Wolf or Sen. Cynthia Creem, the bill sponsors, to add your name to the list.
If your state senator or state representative has already signed on as a cosponsor, please call and thank them for their support.
The following legislators have already signed on as cosponsors: Sen. Chang-Diaz, Sen. Creem, Sen. Clark, Sen. DiDomenico, Sen. Donnelly, Sen. Eldridge, Sen. Fargo, Sen. Jehlen, Sen. Kennedy, Sen. Petruccelli, Sen. Ross, Sen. Rush, Sen. Timilty, Sen. Wolf, Rep. Andrews, Rep. Atkins, Rep. Balser, Rep. Basile, Rep. Benson, Rep. Brodeur, Rep. Brownsberger, Rep. Calter, Rep. Canavan, Rep.
