The Ohio House of Representatives has passed a bill that would prohibit municipalities from restricting the use of plastic bags.
reported that the Republican-dominated House passed the bill 57-35, primarily along party lines.
"The data is so empirical that we are getting our asses kicked by other pro-business friendly states," he told WOSU."We're the fifth most 'left' state in the nation."A few communities in Ohio have already passed plastic bag restrictions. The suburb of Bexley and the entirety of Cuyahoga County's bans will go into effect in January.
WOSU reported that Ohio's Republican governor, Mike DeWine, disagrees with the bag-ban ban, saying that he believes it should be an issue left to local communities.
