Many O'Leary constituents are 'motivated by a nickel'


Sen. Robert O'Leary wants us to "think outside the bottle." I would like him to think more about conservation. His litter bill would bring us back to a time when bottles littered our streets and highways.

He has never addressed how many people would be out of work if his bill were to pass. The last time he was working on this and was on the local radio station he said he did not know how many people would lose their jobs.

During these trying economic times there are many people picking up bottles to turn in for money to buy food. Our local sports teams and other charities receive money from bottles that are redeemed. I disagree with Sen. O'Leary when he says "people are less and less motivated by a nickel." He is clearly out of touch with his constituents and more interested in big business than the good of the public.
