Bottle Deposit Supporters To Deliver Petitions Monday

ANNAPOLIS, Md. —Maryland PIRG is delivering petitions urging Gov. Martin O'Malley to support a measure to create a 5-cent redeemable bottle deposit.

Supporters said they will be delivering 7,000 signatures to the Maryland State House on Monday.

Joanna Guy, a program associate with Maryland PIRG, said the initiative could triple the state's recycling rates and reduce litter.

This is all lies! I lived in Michigan where they too put in all of this BS at the state capital. Go on up there and have a look at how wonderful the state looks! This is a con game, all it does is bring in money for the state, and a hassle for the grocers, store owners, box-boys, customers. It brings ants, and vermin into your house, garage and the stores, it is very unhealthy.
Here in Maryland we don't really have that bad of a recycling problem, try and find an abandon aluminum can along the road way, the unemployed and homeless snatch them up as fast as someone empties them!
Call Annapolis and voice a dislike for this bill, or you will live to regret it!

I thought we did that, failure happened, we did away with that.

Did I miss something?
