Session Shorts, Day 29

PROPERTY TAXES: The Journal of Martinsburg highlights legislation from area lawmakers that would "place a cap on how much property taxes can increase each year," and "place a three-year moratorium on all tax increases."

ATVs: The Legislature is revisiting the debate over regulating all-terrain vehicles. Perhaps mindful of the past failures of comprehensive measures, one Senate bill focuses on keeping ATVs off of paved roads, The Register-Herald reports.

BOTTLE BILL: Both the Beckley newspaper and MetroNews report on legislation that would require "a refundable deposit of 10 cents on beer, soft drink and other beverage containers." Lawmakers heard from John Ferrari, president of California recycler NexCycle, who touted his trade as "green" as well as profitable and jobs-creating.
