Plastic grocery bags… how about plastic water bottles, and everything else plastic in the county…?

The idea that removing plastic bags is going to solve the plastics problem is a total farce, as we dump billions of tons of plastic in landfills and even the ocean. Plastic is indeed an environmental problem. Attacking this huge problem will require far more than removing plastic bags from circulation. This 10 cent tax is just that, it is a tax. an additional tax. This county council is just seeking new ways to tax us more and more. the funds raised from these bags taxes are all likely new taxes, not saving taxes in different areas. Stop raising our Taxes!

Has anyone thought to see if the money is really going to environmental causes?
That would be journalism.

In reply to JD Shaw. You have to remember that this democrat run county not only enjoys making rediculious decisions but also loves to raise taxes to nickle and dime the citizens to death.

This sucks on so many fronts. Why raise the tax just to give a business 5 cents? And I guess thta means that more restraunts will be going out of business and places like GrubHub and DoorDash will also have reduced services. When will this democratic run county stop nickle and diming (no pun intended) the people of this county to death with taxes?

I go to the grocery store and purchase bread, deli meat, bags of nuts, rice cakes, cottage cheese, yogurt, paper towels, toilet paper, vinegar, grapes, produce, cheese, chocolate, other meat products, peanuts, and just about every darn thing…..all wrapped or packaged in PLASTIC.
SO……What is the reason for scamming us to pay extra for the grocery bags???
