Statement on LA Bag Ban From Reverend Shane B. Scott, Senior Pastor, Macedonia Baptist Church

LOS ANGELES, May 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Reverend Shane B. Scott, Senior Pastor of Macedonia Baptist Church today released the following statement regarding the City of Los Angeles' decision to ban plastic bags and impose a regressive tax on paper bags:

"In tough times like these, it's very hard to understand why the City Council would vote for a policy that will eliminate local manufacturing jobs and impose a truly regressive tax that will hurt lower income community members the most. This is a very shortsighted decision that will likely have a number of negative consequences."
