An Open Letter to Members of the WV House of Delegates Judiciary Committee

Dear Members of the West Virginia House of Delegates Judiciary Committee:

I have dedicated my retirement years to acting as an advocate for Huntington and Cabell County neighborhoods. Our group of citizen volunteers, called Adopt YOUR Block - Be a Litter-Gitter, now numbering over 1600 "litter-gitters", has litter-abatement as its sole mission. I am passionate about our mission, and I am proud to tell you that I was a recipient of the 2006 National Jefferson Award for Outstanding Public Service.

I implore you, in your capacity as a member of the Judiciary Subcommittee of the WV House of Delegates, to give your full support for HB 3037. I am convinced that the so-called "Bottle Bill" must become law, if we are to attain, and sustain, our beloved state as a clean and green "Almost Heaven."

Thank you for your service to the people of our state.
