Thanks for responding, Julie. Tina's unpleasantness aside, I think there are reasonable approaches to address the litter problem that don't necessarily involve more taxes - especially on groceries, of all things. (I know it's not on groceries, but that's the practical effect for most households.) This IS a tax and its intent is to raise revenue - whether that revenue is used to improve the environment or for other priorities remains to be codified, as you say. (You have more faith in PG County Government than I do, and I'm a resident.) As an aside, I note coincidentally today's Washington Post piece about the $154,000 in revenues raised in the first month of the bag tax in Montgomery County.
