I would like to personally thank Kirkland City Councilmember Toby Nixon for his (stand alone) vote against banning plastic bags… I agree 100 percent, sir.
I work at a major grocery chain here in our beautiful city, and I know from experience there is a vast majority of people who do not follow current events or even watch the news. I do not look forward to those whom are surprised in 2016 that we have to charge for paper bags, some will ask why “we” are personally charging them.
It is unnecessary grief put on retailers and their employees who deal with them.
I have much love and respect for all our city council members, however I do no agree with their majority vote against you.
Thank you again for your support, and God bless.
Kevin C. Lewis, Kirkland
