Iowa lawmakers edge toward anti litter reform compromise
Governor Ray backs a 10 cent deposit on beer and soft drink containers as part of a bipartisan push to curb litter. A 20 percent handling fee for grocers accompanies a hybrid litter tax and deposit law, while wine and liquor containers join the deposit. Lawmakers split on Oregon versus Washington approaches, with a push to pass a unified deposit bill and a call for a Senate divorce to return to a clean deposit proposal. A separate note warns of stalling by a sub committee chair as the drinking age bill heads to committee debate.
