Seattle Voters Reject 20-cent Bag Fee
Well, it looks like the Plastic Bag Monsters weren’t able to “scare” up enough votes in favor of the 20-cent grocery bag fee in Seattle. Voters rejected the fee for every paper or plastic bag they would get from supermarkets, drug stores and convenience stores. With about half the ballots counted in the all-mail vote, it was failing 58 percent to 42 percent in Tuesday’s primary. What will city leaders do next?
