Taxanetticut. This tax will hurt lower income people the most, yet they will continue to vote for Dems.

The Seattlunatics voted in the same madness. They hate it but are now powerless to undo it. I rarely descend into the pit so (at least for now) I’m only mildly concerned.

Let me guess. The politician that proposed the legislation owns a stake in the company that manufactures the cloth sacks?

Not too many years ago Connecticut did not have a state income tax and the citizens were 47th in state taxes. Once the got an income tax they went from 47th to 4th most heavily taxed state in the nation.

What the do-gooders won’t tell you, is that cloth bags are a bacteria and virus-breeding paradise.

I got it!!!!

Maybe somebody should come up with a type of bag that is not only 100% bio-degradable, but clean, inexpensive, reusable, creates American jobs and comes from a 100% renewable natural resource.

I cringe at the check out when the customer ahead of me has cloth bags.
I know of someone who picked up a stray dog one day and came by to show him to us. He was in the back seat lying (?)on her cloth shopping bags. Huge patches of missing hair and later vet diagnosed mange.

"I want to encourage people to use cloth bags, which many stores are doing," Meyer said.

Connecticut State Sen. Ed Meyer (D-Guilford), I'd like to encourage you to move to North Korea where your kind of Communist would be welcome.

Meyer is the poster child for "pathological altruism" - idiots who take a brief time out from self-righteously patting themselves on the back to inflict pain on everyone else, for no good reason or benefit to the public.

There's a reason why physicians should "first, do no harm". Wouldn't it be great if government idiots and busybodies such as Ed Meyer would apply that caution to lawmaking?

Why are they doing this? Because you can’t suffocate a politician with a paper bag or a cloth sack.

What happened to, “If you don’t like_____don’t do______?”. Isn’t that what liberals have been preaching about everything since Roe v. Wade?

Idiots. Just require that the recycling companies add proper equipment to handle the bags.

I live in Grapevine TX. Our garbage pickup is handled by Allied Waste/Republic Services. In the Fall of 2013, they ADDED the plastic grocery bags as acceptable items for recycling. They added a film recovery process at their North Texas Recycling Center in Forth Worth.
