Show Notes
Connecticuts nickel-per-nip program, implemented in 2022, has generated over $12 million from the sale of 93.8 million nips annually, with a trend of increasing sales. While critics argue it ignores litter and drunk driving issues, supporters highlight the reliance of towns on the steady funds. A bill to allow local bans failed last year, but groups are pushing again this session, considering ideas like refundable deposits. The liquor industry warns of potential shifts in sales to nearby areas if bans are implemented.
