North Carolina Democrats have picked another mole hill to die upon. Republicans are planning to repeal an asinine law that prohibited retailers from supplying plastic bags:
Sen. Thom Goolsby, R-New Hanover, is a primary sponsor of a bill to repeal a ban on plastic bags in the Outer Banks.
Senate Bill 318 was filed Thursday.
It would repeal a 2009 law prohibiting retailers from supplying plastic bags on the barrier islands of the Outer Banks.
The bill says that few people are bringing reusable shopping bags to stores, as supporters of the ban had hoped, and that state money used to study the success of the prohibition could be better spent elsewhere.
The nanny staters produced a commercial targeting two legislators who dared to attack their holy than thou law. Apparently there is an epidemic of turtles choking to death on plastic bags:
If food prices keep escalating, I’ll plant plastic bags all around the beach. I hear turtle makes a mighty fine soup.
