<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>To all concerned about the new Oklahoma Bottle Bill,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The information from Fenton Rood is absolutely correct.
The House bill (hb2916) and the Senate bill (sb1896) have been filed as shell
bills. The reason for this is to allow lawmakers to view it as a preliminary
document with the intention of it being massaged to fit Oklahoma.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>I initially wanted to keep it under the radar of the opposition,
but they have already come out in force. They have lined up with their
lobbyists and have written letters to the coauthors of the bill asking them to
not support the legislation. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>I would suggest, if you are passionate about recycling to
voice your opinion to your local lawmakers....state, county and city. However,
to give the bottle bill the best chance of passing, we need to focus on these
key issues.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>1) <b>Jobs, jobs, jobs!</b> <o:p></o:p></p>

Specifically, it saves jobs like those of ours in the glass industry and others
using recycled content to reduce energy consumption and costs. <o:p></o:p></p>

have reverse vending machines on their property. Although, grocers should
understand if there is a redemption center between two local grocery stores, he
will not be able to guarantee the customer will enter his store with the
redemption receipt to buy more products.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>Below are the arguments the opposition is using. Most of
what they are trying to say is old, tired, outdated thinking and not
substantiated by facts and/or statistics. I think there is an overwhelming
argument, supported by data and collected by groups like CRI, GPI and others.
Please review the opposition’s position, then call your local decision makers
and legislators and tell them why a bottle bill makes so much sense.<o:p></o:p></p>
