“[Senator Conrad Appel] cited a bill by Rep. Paul Hollis of Covington that would kill a proposed New Orleans ordinance requiring New Orleans shoppers to pay more for paper or plastic bags. Because grocery bags greatly contribute to urban waste, two members of the City Council have proposed a 5-cent fee on paper bags and a 10-cent fee on plastic bags.
‘That’s a city decision,’ Appel said, ‘and state lawmakers have no business getting involved in it.'”
Thanks for the support, Senator!
