Hike for Bottle Deposit

Oregon’s 40-year old Bottle Bill may get a makeover from lawmakers in Salem. Representative Ben Cannon wants to raise the deposit to a dime, because a nickel isn't what it was when the Bottle Bill took effect. Cannon and Republican Vickie Berger are co-sponsoring a bill. In addition to the deposit hike, the bill would also extend deposits to sports drinks, and teas.
