Vermont Tomorrow advocates fixes to the bottle ban by promoting returnable bottles and cutting beer excise taxes to restore price competitiveness. Executive director Peter Franchot cites Vermont beer taxes at 57 cents per gallon versus neighboring states and argues a 25 cent tax cut plus recycling savings could boost sales and prompt other states to follow.
