Want to enact a ban on banning plastic bags statewide. This was proposed in the state legislature by a rep who owns grocery stores. And he’s a Republican, naturally.

God forbid people give up the convenience of single use plastic bags that choke our lakes and rivers and end up in the stomachs of wild creatures, and don’t break down in a landfill. It’s not business friendly! ( huge eye roll)
