I wonder how many folks barely scraping by - the thousands who are behind on their utility bills that we all read about earlier this week - can afford "a few extra bucks" to buy these bags.

And I wonder how many people who go shopping once a week in their cars and load up would opt to go to Maryland or Virginia for the convenience of a trunk full of groceries in plastic bags.

I believe they passed a similar law in Seattle and some of the councilmembers in that very liberal city were actually recalled by the voters. It was a campaign secretly funded by the grocery chains and the bag industry, I recall.

This is still a democracy, GGW, and I really don't think a majority of people in the four quadrants of our city would support this legislation. Not for a minute.
