Wonder what happened there? The ban must’ve been seriously hurting somebody’s bottom line...

If you bothered to read the original post, the guy who led the fight was elected on a platform to repeal it. The voters were not all paid off by the plastic bag manufacturers.

Living in a city with one of these bans is a royal PITA. As I mentioned, I ended up buying some bags from Amazon because they are so useful. Other people not as cheap as me buy the thicker trash bags from the grocery, which generate even more profits for the industry.

The bans are supported by the grocery stores since they do not have to provide the bags.
