Cuomo to include statewide plastic bag ban in 2019 budget
By Michael Burke - 01/13/19 02:35 PM EST

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) on Sunday announced that a ban on single-use plastic bags will be included in his 2019 executive budget.

The budget will also include legislation that will make most non-alcoholic drink bottles eligible for 5-cent redemption.

Both proposals are being made in an effort to make progress on environmental issues, Cuomo said Sunday in a statement.

"While the federal government is taking our environmental progress backwards and selling out our communities to polluters and oil companies, in New York we are moving forward with the nation's strongest environmental policies and doing everything in our power to protect our natural resources for future generations," he said.

"These bold actions to ban plastic bags and promote recycling will reduce litter in our communities, protect our water and create a cleaner and greener New York for all," Cuomo added.

Sheesh! Ever police behind your dog with a paper bag?

New York not only doesn't want you to be able to afford to buy anything, they don't want you to be able to carry it home.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

You can still use plastic, you just have to use it more than once.

Perfect.  Now New Yorkers can make an even bigger carbon footprint by using paper which is far more energy intensive to manufacture than is plastic.

Nah, they'll just do what Californians did:  Go to a thicker bag and declare it "reusable."  Charge a nickel a pop.  Good bags, too. 

Net gain for the greenies?  -10.

The problem is those assholes vote the same way when they move to another state.

At this point, not many. They talk about leaving, but so many that are still here are now working for the government, which pays lucrative benefits. People get "job lock." Even those who hate Cuomo won't leave because they don't dare lose their pension.

The nanny state ninnys strike again.   By all means.... let's ban anything we "think" will reduce litter.   Meanwhile... let's allow any and all illegal immigrants into our sanctuary state.... including would-be terrorists that want to blow us all up... and let's turn New York into another San Francisco with human feces littering the public streets.   Yeah.  Much better.
