That's a good idea, Dennis. Erin has a copy of the
press release with at least the names of the board or committee of this
association.
The article in today's DM Register reported that from
today through December 12, hundreds of Iowa supermarkets, drugstores and
convenience stores will hold a petition drive to replace the bottle-deposit law
with a comprehensive recycling initiative.
I did hear on the news which major grocery chains were
involved. Hy-Vee is the only one I remember definitely, because Ron
Pearson of Hy-Vee spoke at the press conference. Erin can provide the
other major chains.
If you're shopping between now and the 12th and you see
one of these petitions, you could also stop and visit with the store
manager. If you find a store that does not have the petitions, let us
know.

Jane,
How about sending us a list of names and addresses of
the key grocer association and grocery chain officials so that we can write
them in opposition to their actions on the bottle bill?
