A 5 cent tax won’t stop an alcoholic from buying whatever they can afford to get their fix, let alone dumping it on the side of the road.

While I’m here, can we stop putting such a huge tax on bottled water? Norwalk municipal water comes out of the tap orange and brown at least twice a month. Half the bottle return centers here are either closed half the time due to malfunctioning equipment, or have grossly limited hours. I just put it in the weekly recycling bin.

Or yknow, I guess we could just do something about the state of the city water here so I actually feel comfortable letting my family and pets drink it.
