ROTHENBURGER: Council tries its best to make plastic bag issue complicated
KAMLOOPS — KAMLOOPS CITY COUNCIL tried its level best to make banning plastic bags as complicated as possible this week but miraculously ended up making it simple — as it should be.
When Coun. Dale Bass’ notice of motion on the issue came up for debate, it was amended, then it was amended, then it was amended again. And again.
It started out as a request for staff to draw up a bylaw banning single-use plastic bags, straws and cutlery. Coun. Sadie Hunter wanted it put off till July, instead of the end of May as Bass proposed.
