Another state run scam-- Plastic grocery store bags became a target a few years ago, so some ballot measure came along to ban them. Instead of that, they sell them for ten cents at the store. Most of the time, I don't ever get more than one or two, so I minimize my use of them, also they do get reused when I get them home. Interestingly enough, the store has to pay the state three cents each for them. Some kind of bag fee or something. That think of everything. Remember the scene in Blazing Saddles when the town of Rock Ridge was about to be invaded by the bad guys and they put up a toll gate called the Gov.Wm.J.LaPetomane Toll Gate? That's when Slim Pickens muttered the classic line about the Gov when he asked,"What will that @*^^&&think of next?" Same game,different century. They stay up nights coming up with great ideas. Interestingly enough, there actually was a Wm.J LePetomane. Wikipedia this actual historical figure.
