Carey opposes bottle bill, likely defeating it in committee
Gov. Hugh L. Carey declared opposition to the bottle bill, saying it would raise transportation and handling costs for retailers and producers. The stance, coupled with an interagency task force report, casts doubt on the measure as Assembly Commerce Committee prepares to debate and vote amid opposition from brewers, bottlers, and manufacturers. Environmental groups back the bill, which would impose a 5 cent deposit on beer and soda bottles and cans.
