Today, the New York State Association of Counties urged
Governor Cuomo and the State Legislature to make modifications to the proposed
expansion of the Returnable Container Act, which would add a deposit to sports
drinks, energy drinks, fruit and vegetable beverages, and ready-to-drink
coffees and teas. The Association claims
that the proposal harms recycling programs that are already being threatened by
global recycling market volatility, instead they urge the State to add a
deposit to additional glass beverage containers, including wine and liquor
bottles, hard cider bottles, and non-alcoholic glass beverage containers as
Glass causes problems in the municipal recycling stream because it breaks and
contaminates other recyclables. Placing a deposit on these containers would
increase glass recycling, reduce municipal recycling costs, and reduce glass
contamination.

While Governor Cuomo once again shot down stories that he
might run from President in 2020, speculation has shifted to a possible run
from President by US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. Before becoming a US Senator, Gillibrand
represented much of the WCDO listening area in the House of Representatives
after winning the election in 2006 over Republican incumbent John Sweeney, she
later became a US Senator after Hillary Clinton was chosen as Secretary of
State by then President Obama.
Gillibrand told reporters last month that she would start considering a
run after the holidays.
