Bag taxes and bans only increase costs and limit convenience for consumers.
We oppose the action taken today by Governor Phil Murphy, signing into law a statewide ban on paper bags. This action undermines an environmentally responsible option for consumers. New Jersey is now the only state in the nation to ban paper bags. http://ow.ly/izaj50CbEnF
