Overturning bag ban
67 Question: Should California’s landmark 2014 law banning disposable plastic bags be upheld or overturned? Voters who choose “yes” will be ratifying the law. Money raised for “Yes” campaign: $2.5 million Money raised for “No” campaign: $2.9 million What you should know: While scores of local communities already have a ban, this political fight covers all of California. The plastic bag industry immediately filed for the referendum after the bag ban was signed into law. Four out-of-state plastic bag manufacturers have provided 97% of the contributions to the American Plastic Bag Alliance, which is the only committee working to defeat Proposition 67 and pass Proposition 65, according to MapLight, a nonpartisan organization that tracks money in politics.
