Bet they will tax bag sales.
NYS just banned plastic grocery bags.
And counties are bring allowed to tax paper bags sold in grocery stores.
These politicians should stuff their heads into a plastic bag and tie it off with a cord around the neck.
Cuomo & Legislators Will Ban Plastic Bags, Tax Paper in NY
Note to Trump: Suggestion for your campaign store, how about paper grocery bags with MAGA on them. I'd buy in bulk.
The country is being overrun by the “wisdom” of teenagers.
Typical big city/county government...useless human acne.
In other places, these bans have been so onerous on the public in general that they are being reversed. Even watermelons are sick of it.

Pretty soon they will just serve you food in your cupped hands or just take the shopping cart home with the groceries in it.
Now we go back to paper bags that I remember were so horrible because of all the tree killing.
Folks I give you the left, controlling every single part of our lives.
[[Brady on Wednesday said he believed the proposed ban had garnered a “broad consensus.” ]]
There’s that word again.
Not ALL bags are banned, you notice.
Currently we used our own homemade cloth bags. Seeing all the plastic in landfills is saddening.
But I do not want the government to set the rules. If everyone simply tried to reduce plastics use, it would make a big difference.
Comments button did not work for me. Maybe you have to be a subscriber.
I use a paper bag for that.
When asked “paper or plastic?” my response was “wicker” or sometimes “stainless steel.” I then changed it to “Kryptonite.” I said I’d like a Kryptonite bag in case Superman was in the parking lot thinking that I owed him money.

The suburbs of Cleveland, in and out of Cuyahoga County, have sustained the region. The county and the City of Cleveland overall are corrupt cesspools.
I am moving back to the region one day to retire (insert snark here), but will never buy in the county despite many, many great suburban cities. That makes me and Mrs. Birdman sad.
Makes me want to drive up there and start handing out plastic bags with Chief Wahoo’s picture on them.
Basically right half of the Bell Curve Democrats punishing in an obtuse fashion Democrats on the left half of the Bell Curve.
No true conservative would seek to divide the D party it is not who we are.
All of my plastic bags are multiple use. Small trash can liners, dog cleanup, recycled at store, collecting cleanup rags and paper towels, storing brass, lots of second uses.
I don’t know about anyone else, but most of the plastic bags I get are from the grocery store. They become kitchen garbage bags for the little bin that hangs off the under-sink cabinet door. If I didn’t get these, I would have to buy special-purpose plastic bags for the purpose. How does that make anything better?
What is their goal here? It’s not like the sea of plastic in the ocean is coming from Ohio (or much of it from on-land garbage in north America in general). We’re not China or India, we don’t have tons of plastic garbage dumped in our rivers to float out to sea. The one major problem I see with plastic bags is that they become an eyesore when they are discarded carelessly or get away, ending up stuck in trees, bushes, fences, etc.
Yet, wrapping up biodegradable pet poo in plastic is ok.
