Nov 11, 2011 2:40 PM
From The Baltimore Sun: Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blakewill seek to raise the city's bottle tax from 2 cents to 5 cents as part of a plan to boost funding for school construction and repairs. The bottle tax money and other revenue would create a funding stream of $23.8 million that the Baltimore school system would use to float $324 million in bonds to renovate and replace dilapidated buildings.
