City Pushes Ahead With Plastic Bag Proposals as State Broods

By /
Is the city fed up with the state Legislature’s foot dragging when it comes to banning or imposing fees on plastic bags?

According to a story by Civil Beat reporter Michael Levine, this appears to the be the case.

But are they as good as the current statewide proposal?
