House Judiciary Committee Ensures that Bottle Bill is Dead for Another Year

Curious minds want to know why any reasonable person would not support this particular bill that would dramatically reduce the ugly litter on our streets, highways and waterways. Curious minds would, also, like to know the names of the companies and organizations who have continuously fought this environmentally important legislation. What did they do during this legislative year to influence the Judiciary committee members to not pass the bill out of committee? Inquiring minds want to know.
