Letter to the Editor: Against Plastic Grocery Bag Ban
By JOHN STEPHENSONI’m writing to voice my opposition to the idea of a plastic grocery bag ban that’s been going around lately. Bag bans have become the latest Eco-Fad for people that don’t have anything better to do than to punish everyone for the actions of a few.

How can it be labeled as a “compromise”, just because the bill included 50 cent per hour raise in the minimum wage? Read More
