What do you think the chances of packing that many are? Or, let's say you make an impulse or unexpected purchase and you don't have your bag handy. (Unless, of course, you plan to carry a folded up one in your pocket.) So, this would have ended up as just another nuisance tax that consumers would have been stuck with. The Annandale Giant still offers paper bags and I request those because they have other uses. Of course, I'm sure that the tree huggers would oppose the reintroduction of paper into retail commerce. So, it's fortunate that the legislature blocked this farce because there's little no to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-75252750847010499312015-01-23T12:53:42.712-05:002015-01-23T12:53:42.712-05:00> creeping taxation

This proposal also ignored the expense for stores of collecting the tax which would then be passed on to consumers. Seemingly innocuous taxes on consumers for for bags, take out meals, etc. add up quickly. This region was just hit with a large sales tax increase, so consumers don't need to be paying even more at the register.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
