Back in Aug 2015 Chicago instituted a ban on plastic grocery bags, supposedly to benefit the environment and the problem of the lighweight plastic bags getting loose and blowing around getting stuck in bushes and trees.
Well, evidently those aren't as big a problem as everyone thought now that Raul Emmanuel figured out they could make retailers charge .07 per plastic bag of which the city get .05 so as of Jan 1st the ban will be repealed with the per bag charge going into effect Feb 1.
Seems Progressives really care about our environment ... until they realize they can make a buck if they change their tune.
