1) Sen. Jehlen supports expanded bottle bill
Somerville State Sen. Patricia Jehlen supported a measure that would expand the 5-cent bottle deposit to bottles of water, iced tea, juice and sports drinks, according to an announcement from Jehlen's office. The measure, attached to the Jobs Bill as an amendment, passed through the Massachusetts Senate on July 19, according to the announcement. In a statement, Jehlen said, "By closing the loophole in the bottle bill that exempted certain containers because of their contents, this measure will greatly expand recycling and clean up our neighborhoods." The Jobs Bill is going to a conference committee to hammer out a compromise with the Massachusetts House.
