[Pharmwaste] Fighting chain pharmacy take-back bill, comments sought!

[Ed Gottlieb]

The NY State Chain Pharmacy Take-Back bill still hasn't been sent to Governor Cuomo and the effort to persuade him to veto it continues.



State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (D-Howard Beach) co-sponsored the bill and is urging the Governor to sign it into law.

This was covered in a recent news story:

After submitting a comment to that story, the editor invited me to write a rebuttal.  That was published today:

And, thanks to the ongoing efforts on this issue by the NYPSC, PSI, and Citizens Campaign for the Environment.
