It was intended that the money raised would fund roadside cleanups. Doesn't seem like that's the reality.

Fuck that. Im Sick of doing unpaid recycling as part of my job. Ppl bringg in the fucking most disgusting smelling bags of beer mixed with all type of seltzer bullshit. Its gross. Our state law requires all vodka soda to be shipped covered in plastic wrap. I rip up fkn 100 plastic wraps a week and toss them. The state should either promote recycling or not. But they should make thier fucking mind up. Thousands of plastic coverings being mandoatory is not in any form compatible with charging people a recycling tax/deposit.

Typical nutmeg logic, there is none. If the politicians thought with their heads instead of pockets then they would of made it a deposit. The greed of CT politicians both sides are corrupt 🙄

Lmao. And people believed it. I bet every penny of that money goes into the general fund. And besides, how did people really expect the states accountants to figure out how to get state tax dollars from the coffers into the town budgets (its the towns who actually cleans the roads) without any significant amount of political reach arounds.

Gotta say, is there an upper limit CT residents have on getting taxed for shit that never happens?

Cause we seem to vote for every new tax that claims to be for infrastructure and I've yet to see any positive change in this state in my 30 years of life.

Personal rant: Enfield can screw itself in particular, they're currently demolishing the only youth center near by to build a assisted living community. They charge outrageous property tax on your car just yo give you some of the most shit roads I've ever driven in the whole nation. You can bet the town hall and green look great for tourism pictures though.
