For the new year, The Daily Breeze endorsed a statewide
plastic bag ban.

Out of frustration or incapacity to persuade Sacramento to endorse real
reforms, the Editorial Board seems convinced that since legislators are not
making real decisions about budgets and funding, they might as well advocate
picayune reforms in how Californians carry their groceries.



Forget
about the plastic bags. How about cutting the bureaucratic red tape that strangles
businesses and ties up individual Californians in long lines at court houses
and the DMV? How about protecting the green in our pockets instead of the green
of Mother Nature?  While the trees can fend
for themselves, the entire state of California will be taken away in a body-bag
of fiscal insolvency if Sacramento has nothing better to do besides micromanage
our grocery shopping. From car taxes to income taxes to sales taxes, can anyone
in this state catch a break?
