❗Force impossible burdens on small businesses.

HAPPENING NOW: The @councilofdc roundtable on the D.C. Bottle Bill is still underway.
This costly bill would raise prices for local businesses and D.C. families. Listen to the stories of the real people this bill would impact. ➡️ afforddc.com/dc-voices/
Proponents are claiming bottle bills don’t raise prices or hurt sales, but they’re ignoring the massive administrative and compliance costs passed down to small businesses and families. An added $1.20 on a 12-pack adds up fasts.
@CouncilofDC – D.C. can’t afford another expense!
“The system is highly vulnerable to fraud … Some states have reported spending tens of millions of dollars in fraud.” – Mary Donovan
D.C. can't afford a costly bottle bill. Other state programs are riddled with fraud—hurting residents & local businesses. We need real solutions.
NY Councilwoman Ginnie Farrell claims during @councilofdc roundtable: "There hasn't been any data that has shown that costs have gone up for the consumer" … but the receipts from her own state make clear that’s untrue. Added cost on every bottle IS an increase that adds up!
🗣️What does the Bottle Bill mean for the residents and small businesses of D.C.?
At a time when everything is expensive enough, families and local businesses can’t afford higher grocery prices.
Listen to their stories. ➡️ afforddc.com/dc-voices/
⚠️ D.C. is already expensive enough and now @councilofdc wants to add a Bottle Bill that makes it harder for working people, seniors and residents to pay for groceries.
This bill would hike the costs of a 12-pack by $1.20. Tell Council NO bottle bill: speak4.app/lp/un01csfs
The Roundtable hosted by @councilofdc on the D.C. Bottle Bill is underway.
We ask: Why are we intentionally raising prices on working people in D.C. when they have told us it's too expensive to live and work in the District. Stop the price hike➡️

🚨ANNOUNCEMENT: Today at 9:30AM, the T&E Committee meets on the D.C. Bottle Bill.
Follow along about how this expensive bill will raise grocery costs and impact local D.C. businesses, including the price of a 24-pack of water by $2.40. Stop the price hike.
D.C. families and businesses are already facing high prices. A proposed bottle bill would mean even higher costs for every bottle and can sold in the District.
