Clock is Ticking On Packaging Reduction (Part 1)

With less than ten session days before the legislature adjourns for the year, the state legislature is only now passing the state budget that was due April 1. It is unclear whether the Assembly will finally allow a vote on the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act. In a May 19 press conference, in part one we hear from Assemblymember Deborah Glick, Adrienne Esposito of Citizens Campaign for the Environment; Alicia Deen-Steindler of the League of Conservation Voters; Ulster County Executive Jen Metzger; and, Chuck Bell of Consumers Report.
