Prop 67 Bags

Tweet

Oh boy, I went shopping, as you all know and the store was the Ralph's in Newbury Park everyone had their bags and today went off to visit the one in town. Now that was a different story, as the man in front of me paid 80 cents for bags and wasn't happy. He just shock his head at the price. The man in the self checkout went crazy over 20 cents. You could hear him in any part of the store, as he was yelling about the money. I was ready to give him the 20 cents and think even the self checker was ready to hand it over. You know these 2 people didn't vote and the Prop passed by a lot. I hope the overseas people will tell us what it costs when they don't bring bags to the grocery store, as have seen articles saying its really high. One site said Italy is the highest and hopefully somebody is following me and sees my post. This is the Prop I wanted to pass more than any other and made calls trying to get it passed. The next time somebody asks if you know anyone that worked to pass something you can say yes. Many years ago I even held a picket sign because they wanted to change the school day by having students start school at different times, so a staggered schedule really hard for working parents. This prop means all those plastic bags that people are leaving on the beaches won't happen in this state. The last beach clean up that I helped picked up so many lost count. They were every where and after a few smelly bags and animal body (so sad) I wanted to call it a day, but kept going knowing it needed to be done.
