More states have banned the bans than have banned the bags.
Interestingly, the reasons for supporting the ban ranged from nuanced to inane. Republican State Senator John Wiik, who co-sponsored the bill, provided a pretty compelling explanation by arguing that the sparsely-populated state is so spread out. “We [residents of small towns] don’t get to participate in the ordinance of these towns… But we have very little choice but to participate in the commerce of these towns,” he was quoted as saying.
“I don't expect hockey parents from Pierre to know if Watertown or Mitchell has a ban on ‘auxiliary containers,’ and I don't believe that people who live in areas near big towns should have those decisions made for them,” he added on his blog,However, Republican State Senator Jeff Monroe offered up an explanation that could make even a casual environmentalist’s head explode.
