Bottle deposit bill still in air
It has worked in urban states like California and rural states like Vermont. But in West Virginia the idea of placing deposits on bottles and other containers so they are returned and recycled hasn't gotten much support in the Legislature.
This year, if the bill (HB2773) is going to move, it has to start in the House of Delegates. House Judiciary Chairwoman Carrie Webster said it would be up to her committee members.
"If the committee has the interest in running it, I will give the opponents the same consideration," Webster, D-Kanawha, said recently after a joint House-Senate Judiciary committee meeting about the issue.
