Just north of there, in the People's Republic of Maryland, Montgomery County just instituted a new 5 cent "bag tax" on all plastic and paper bags (excepting paper bags for "ready made foods", like restaurant take-out).

What sucks about it is that I'm in lose-lose situation. If I don't change my habits, I have to pay an extra tax to the b*stards every time I go shopping. If I do change my habits, then they get their warm and fuzzy "green" feeling and move on to the next way to ruin my life.
