20 cents per bag

So yesterday, it was announced that Virginia is going to try to pass a 20 cent per bag tax at grocery stores. REALLY????  Come on, DC and Montgomery County have a 5 cent tax.  That's reasonable.  I SAVE 5 cents per bag when I bring in bags at Giant now.

Canada has the same tax.  Does it save/prevent on litter?  I don't know.  But what really has me in an uproar is that these two idiots realize that the bill will probably pass at 5 cents - then why are you wasting time and just ask for a 5 cent tax?

20-cent bag fee proposed in Virginia

SPRINGFIELD, Va. - The latest bag fee proposal is sparking intense debate in Virginia after lawmakers proposed a 20-cent tax on plastic.
The bill, co-sponsored by Delegates Joe Morrissey, D-Va., and Scott Surovell, D-Mount Vernon, would impose a 20-cent fee on all plastic bags used by grocery shoppers to carry purchased goods. It doesn't affect durable, reusable bags, or bags used for ice cream, meat, fish or poultry.
Surovell says the bill is not meant to raise money, but to cut down on litter and pollution. He adds that it will likely be cut down to 5 cents once a review begins in committee.
"You could avoid the fee simply by bringing your own bag," Surovell says.
He also says that his constituents are more accepting of the 5-cent fee.
"Responses on my blog ran about 64 percent of the people were perfectly fine with a nickel," he says.
Surovell's district borders the Potomac River, a major tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. He says improperly discarded plastic bags are a major source of pollution and any fees collected would be used to clean up the litter.
The proposal is similar to laws already in effect in D.C. and Montgomery County, Md.
Republicans immediately lashed out regarding the proposal, saying many people already reuse plastic bags around the house.
Three similar bills died in House committees last year.
