I just heard from both Lyle Krewson and DeWayne Johnson that there will be a subcommittee hearing on the Bottle Bill. DeWayne's message follows. Please contact the four legislators listed below before 9 a.m. Tuesday so they can hear your views on the Bottle Bill. Neila Seaman From DeWayne Johnson, Executive Director, Iowa Recycling Association There will be a meeting of the Senate Subcommittee on SF39 (the Brunkhorst Bottle Bill) tomorrow morning (3/1) at 9:00 a.m. in Room 22 behind the Senate. It is important that the subcommittee members are contacted by IRA members and other Bottle Bill supporters so that they recognize that we simply need the Bottle Bill UPDATED, not OVERHAULED. This obviously isn't the piece of legislation we were most in favor of (SF107), but it's a piece that will get the conversation started. Please remind them of the importance of acting this session and the impacts of inaction.
