More "Progressiveness" from San Francisco

JS Online: News:

"The city's Commission on the Environment is expected to ask the mayor and board of supervisors Tuesday to consider a 17-cent per bag charge on paper and plastic grocery bags. While the goal is reducing plastic bag pollution, paper was added so as not to discriminate."

What's a bit surprising is that the resolution didn't include the purchase of shopping bags made from hemp to be provided to each and every citizen at taxpayer cost. Somehow, I think the commission discussed it, but chose not to report it - yet!
