LordCommanderMilitant, on Oct 17 2016 - 23:35, said: I figured it out later: CA is already imposing legislation
requiring charging for all bags, so its a measure that even if the
one banning all plastic bags fails, they still get the consolation
prize of gaining money off the plastic bags still in service. If
the one banning plastic bags passes, the latter one is effectively
worthless. The_Chieftain: Two errors there. Firstly, the presumption that the
proposition banning single-use bags only applies to plastic
bags. It does not. The prohibition applies to paper bags as well,
and it's why he didn't say 'plastic bags' in his post. Secondly, an
apparent error that the 'to the government' proposition applies to
those same bags which were subject to banning. They are not. That
prop goes for the sale of the bags which would be mandatory if the
single-use ban took effect.
