Fire them. Fire them all. Every one of the bastards responsible needs to leave public life immediately.

Easy solution for me. I’ll start shopping in Pflugerville and Round Rock.

When you get to the check out remove the absurd packaging from the products you are buying and leave it on the belt. Tell the check out operator you have new rules.

“The City of Austin might enact one of the broadest bag bans in the nation and prohibit disposable paper and plastic bags at all checkout counters starting in January 2016.”

The Texas legislature should stop this, by enacting a statewide law that only the state of Texas will have the power to regulate the use of paper and/or plastic bags within Texas, and that no city within Texas may unilaterally ban the use of such bags.

If such a law could be passed, I don’t believe that municipalities could have it overturned in court.

That would stop the fools of Austin in their tracks, and put ‘em in the bag....

LOL!
Austin is Texas’ own little San Fransicko.
Fortuantely, in Texas, the infection is contained.

Jeez...just when I’m done stockpiling 100 W incandescent bulbs, do I now have to stockpile bags, too? I missed out when the government banned our regular gasoline cans and I now have these crappy things that leak all over the place. I missed out when they banned reasonable volume showerheads and sink faucets. I swear I shall never miss out again on things banned by the bastards in government.

Again Austin has to go out of its way to show everyone else just how Anal they can be.

This is another egregious illustration/example of people using government to take away free choice of other people. When will people get off the mantra of some will-of-the-wisp ‘government’ and understand their next door neighbor or the guy across town or any other such (s)elected person are the ones doing such to other people. We have passed the point of necessary representative government to the stage of personalized government based on self interested humans. I have experienced how ‘government’ at local and state levels have made all kinds of excuses to maintain not the essentials of ‘government’ but instead just for perpetuating income for employees. No government agency should be allowed to be under under organized unions.
