NY Keg law sucks, voice your displeasure to the nitwit who sponsored it!!!

"Sponsored by state Sen. Pat McGee (R-Franklinville), and by Assemblyman Richard Brodsky (D-White Plains), the bill calls for mandatory $75 deposits on all keg purchases. It also mandates that every keg carry a registration sticker".

Well this bill became a law, and now if you live in NY and you keep a keg on tap, you have to pay a $75.00 deposit along with filling out a bunch of paperwork. If you cant finish that keg and return it within

30 days, say goodbye to your deposit. This only hurts the honest tax paying draft beer drinkers and no one else. I am asking anyone who is effected by this ridicules "feel good" legislation to email Patricia McGee at

I received one email from assemblyman Dave Townsend that read: "There is a possibility that there will be an amendment to extend the one-month limit introduced during next year's legislative session." At least it's a response, kudos to Mr. Townsend for stepping to the plate, but I sent dozens of emails to these officials and only received one response. Please visit the website again, I added a copy and paste letter people can send along with more email addresses. Let's get this thing fixed in NY. If you don't live in NY, you could be next! Thanks for everyones responses. walt
