<p>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.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (D-Howard Beach) co-sponsored the bill and is urging the Governor to sign it into law.
</p>
<p>This was covered in a recent news story: <br>
<a href="http://theforumnewsgroup.com/2017/11/16/addabbo-urges-cuomo-to-sign-medication-disposal-site-bill-into-law/">http://theforumnewsgroup.com/2017/11/16/addabbo-urges-cuomo-to-sign-medication-disposal-site-bill-into-law/</a></p>
<p>After submitting a comment to that story, the editor invited me to write a rebuttal. That was published today:</p>
