People have complained about City Hall nickel-and-diming us for such things as parking fees, tickets, etc., but that was always just an expression.

Now City Hall has done it literally with the new shopping bag fee of a dime!

I have been taking shopping bags to the grocery store for years; I know that I am going shopping and I will need them. When I go downtown, I don't know what I may buy. Am I supposed to drag a bag with me just in case? It's not the dime. It will not change my shopping habits.

Of course the Chamber of Commerce supports it; this is thousands and thousands of dollars in new money for its members. The Sierra Club supports it as feel-good legislation.

The ones that lose are the consumers; they now have to pay for something they have always gotten for free.

Will people really take shopping bags to Macy's to save a dime?
