Bragman leads bottle bill debate in Assembly
In Albany the Assembly Commerce Committee voted 16 to 8 against the bottle bill after nearly 99 minutes of discussion. The plan would impose a five cent deposit on beer and soda bottles and cans, a measure opposed by Bragman and Pillittere who warned it would harm local producers like Anheuser-Busch, Clinton's Ditch Cooperative, and Miller brewery while pledging possible future jobs gains.
