The Washington Post was incredulous that Michigan would ban the banning of plastic shopping bags, but Wisconsin under GOP Gov. Scott Walker already achieved the same:
Scott Walker signs bills on cellphones, plastic bag bans
Local governments will not be able to ban grocers or other businesses from using plastic bags, under AB 730. No communities in Wisconsin have such a ban, but Republicans who control the Legislature passed the measure to ensure none adopts them as the idea takes root in cities in some other states.
