I agree with Gary Liss that you should work with progressive manufacturers and
use their influence to help get legislation passed. With Florida's advance
disposal fee (ADF), we were unable to get legislation passed until we showed a
few major players how they would gain competitive advantage under the program's
incentives for recycling and reuse. After that, out proposed legislation sped
through the process nicely. However, I disagree with Gary that trade
associations shouldn't be included in the process. We worked with trade
associations and several progressive companies to set reasonable goals that
were achievable by some companies, but not from others. That helped set the
stage for the fee to be an effective incentive. It also helped the fee work
better than expected, because we had the key players cooperating, even if they
weren't fully enthusiastic about having the government involved in any
capacity. By working closely with *all* the key players, we were also able to
minimize negative impacts.
I agree that the Federal level is most appropriate for manufacturer's
responsibility, but you're not going to see real Federal action until several
key states have implemented manufacturer responsibility programs appropriate
for their own state's needs, and with various options for companies and
consumers. Industries will work to keep state laws consistent with one another,
and if companies are faced with several key states operating in several
different ways, then the industries will push for a Federal program for
consistency. Even if there isn't a push for Federal Legislation, similar
programs in several key states will result in de facto national policy, as
manufacturers respond to those programs.

I agree with Russ Martin's comments fully - I stated my point more
emphatically perhaps than appropriate - working with trade associations is ok
to keep them informed and involved. However, don't let trade assn. politics
bog you down - they are the least common denominator for policy setting and
usually not the most progressive as a result.
Russ - Florida is being cited in CA as an example of an ADF that failed.
You're citing it as a success. Which is it? What happened? Didn't it get
repealed recently? Can you summarize on email or fax me some info at
916-652-0250?
