This just seems like such an untimely and possibly unnecessary measure. Other regions have improved recycling measures for these bags and maintained consumer choice. I can't help but think of my parents who live on the coast and walk to the store, they often bring their cloth bags, but on a rainy day when they might forget them, not being able to get a bag that will last the rainy walk up the street???

I am frustrated by the legislature's desire to push this when there are so many other pressing issues that we should be talking about.
