Well this will certainly cause consternation amongst the dog owning set of Westport. The RTM, in their overeagerness to jump on the bandwagon to ban plastic bags is looking to introduce an ordinance. From the Advocate:
The newly crafted ordinance calls for a committee appointed by the first selectman to enforce the ban and encourages stores to provide reusable cloth and recyclable paper bags.
“We’re very excited about it,” said Gene Seidman, an RTM member representing District 4 who is sponsoring the ordinance with three other district representatives. “It’s forward-thinking. We’re thinking globally and acting locally.”
