What a waste of Tax Dollars

This is why I think I should run for office here. This is what they are debating on doing in Colorado now....

Ordinances Under Discussion
City of Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley
As of February 2011, Aspen, CO is considering a 5 to 20-cent fee on single-use carryout bags or a ban on plastic bags. The City of Aspen hopes to work with other local municipalities (Basalt, Carbondale, Snowmass Village, Glenwood Springsas) to create a regional approach.
