I started saving plastic bags years ago when they first started talking about this. They’re easy to save, and don’t take up much room—I smooth and fold the bags as I bring them into the house, and then I can get a whole bunch of bags into one bag.

The pennies they will charge for each bag doesn’t bother me so much as it’s just another way for the gummit to pick our pockets, and I try to avoid letting them do that as much as possible.

Since this is Virginia we can count this as just another power play by the Republican Establishment.

They're trying to cram Mitt Romney down our throats, so why not a bag tax as well.

They'll show us for standing up to their BS concerning how the party primary is to be conducted (excluding everybody but their favorite candidate).

We need to send these pukes to PRISON for election fraud. We don't need a stinking bag tax!

To Hell with the Bag Tax and The High Taxers and their running dog lackeys!

That's what I've got to say about it.

“... I started saving bags”

If you run out, check Ebay. Several friends of mine have purchased the plastic bags (I think they are called t-shirt bags and can be purchased in bulk). The cloth bags are also available for way less than the ones at a store. Just a FYI for you to keep in the back of your mind.

Awhile back, I purchased one of those Simplehuman bag holders. Roll up the bags and stuff them in the top slot. When you need a bag, you pull one from the side opening. It mounts on the wall with two wood screws. Very neat way to stow plastic bags.
