In Madison County, lawmakers will be voting this fall on whether or not to ban plastic bags commonly used for groceries and retail. Following a third public hearing in three months where people on both sides of the aisle spoke, it would seem that more people are for the ban than against it.
Elise Allen is a local business owner in the city of Oneida. She was one of the few at the most recent meeting who believe plastic bags should stay in stores. "Small business, we have a small budget,” Allen said. “I'd rather be looking at, how can I spend that money on advertising and bringing people here, rather than on a bag."
