Last year the DC City Council passed gay marriage and a five cent tax on plastic bags. Congress may yet step in prevent marriage equality and opponents may get the issue before the voters -- so gay marriage in DC is far from being in the bag. But nothing will stop a tax. Even on bags.
Judging from my grocery store people have adapted, bringing cloth tote bags. The process has definitely slowed checkout down.
But the burning question I have is -- what are we going to pick up dog poop with? Will we get fewer plastic bags in the Anacostia but more poop on the devil strips?
