Evanston small business owners reiterated previously mentioned concerns about the city’s proposed single-use bag tax, saying adding the tax on top of the cost of shopping in the city would deter both customers and business owners.initially proposed 10-cent amount
Reid said if a bag tax isn’t implemented, taxpayers will likely pay the same amount through other avenues, like property taxes. “For us, it is an issue of administrative ,” Ellen King, owner of Hewn bakery, said. “Environmentally, if I thought it’d make a big dent, I’d be all in support.” Chicago’s current bag tax equates to seven cents per bag.Before Chicago’s disposable bag tax, 82% of the city’s consumers used at least one disposable bag per trip but within a year of implementing the tax that dropped to 28%.
Zimmerman also said the referral’s anti-plastic bag position would help address staffing concerns by alleviating the amount of necessary labor while also curbing recycling cart contamination and safety concerns.
