Washington, DC Bag Tax After 3 Years: dirtier streets, bigger government
A funny thing happened when plastic bag tax supporters tried to prove how successful their coercive, Big Government law has been in Washington, DC: they inadvertently undermined their justifications of the law.
They conducted a spurious, biased and largely meaningless survey to see how the law was doing after three years in force. It was a survey that the Washington Post misled its readers was “independent.” But even with the advocates’ thumbs pressing down on the scale – as we document below – the results came back with bad news for bag tax boosters.
