a statement signing the ban into law, Governor Jerry Brown argued that “This bill is a step in the right direction — it reduces the torrent of plastic polluting our beaches, parks, and even the vast ocean itself. . . . We’re the first to ban these bags, and we won’t be the last.” While the governor may unfortunately prove correct in his prediction of future statewide bans to come, he’s almost certainly wrong that they in any way help the environment.

As an animal lover, I want to save the environment and educate people about the harm caused when plastic bags are tossed onto streets or into oceans. What I don’t want is more government intrusion and that’s what we’ll have if Governor Jerry Brown signs Senate Bill 270 – the statewide plastic bag ban.

Senate Bill 270 (Padilla) is a perfect example of the job-killing impulse that’s far too common in the Capitol. This misguided measure to ban plastic bags and impose a minimum 10-cent tax on paper bags will punish the poor and shut down a small-but-important California industry.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, this picture of the cities and counties within the state of California that have already passed plastic bag ordinances, implemented bag bans and taxes, proves one point: Most of California is being ruled by the liberal coastal regions.

Nothing better represents the de-industrialization of this state; the aversion of California’s elites to the manufacture of products they don’t like even if they are a convenience provided free to consumers. This legislation should be referred because we need a debate on whether Brown and the legislature are further impoverishing California.
