The article did not say who pockets the 10 cents per bag? The grocers??.. or the state??
No matter who pockets the fee don't be fooled.
Its about he money, not the environment.
And slobby people will still throw away the thicker bags too. So instead of seeing plastic bags along the highways and ocean for a couple of weeks before they decompose they will be there for us to see for years instead. And they should last forever in the landfill.
Oh well, at least they didn't say this time: "Its for the children."
