Group Opposing Bag Fees Collects Needed Signatures
More than enough valid signatures have been collected by a group that opposes a new fee on paper and plastic bags in Seattle to keep the ordinance from going into effect in January as planned.
Instead, city voters will decide the fate of the disposable bag fee during an election next year.

The city council also placed a ban on all foam food and beverage containers from Seattle restaurants, delis and grocery stores which will still go into effect January 1, 2009.
