Maine Legislator Proposes Deposit on Cig Butts
Friday, February 16

Lewiston, ME - State representative Joe Brooks wants to keep Maine clean by
putting a 5-cent refundable deposit on cigarettes. He's introduced a bill
that would increase the price of a pack of cigarettes by $1, or 5 cents a
butt. Smokers could redeem their deposits by bringing butts in batches of 20
to recycling and redemption centers.

-Caveat Lector-

I think this legislator needs a hobby.
