Senator Tony Strickland's Attack on Reusable Bags
By Jenesse Miller

At first, I thought it was a bad April Fool's joke: A bill requiring warnings on all reusable bags?
Unfortunately, it's not a bad joke, but a very bad policy proposal. State Senator Tony Strickland has introduced a bill, SB 1106, that would require the following warning label on all reusable bags:
“WARNING: Reusable bags must be cleaned and disinfected between uses to prevent food cross contamination. Failure to do so can cause serious illness, cancer, or birth defects resulting from food-borne pathogens. Once used for other purposes, reusable bags should not be used for carrying groceries.”
Holy hyperbole! If I don't disinfect my reusable bag, I'll get cancer?!
Candidates Take Note: New Poll Shows Independent Voters are Environmentalists
By Jenesse Miller

Listen up, candidates for office in California: Independent voters care about the environment.
A groundbreaking new statewide poll of California voters who decline-to-state (DTS) an affiliation with any political party reveals the strong environmental and other progressive values of this poorly-understood but growing bloc of voters. The poll was commissioned by the California League of Conservation Voters Education Fund (CLCV Education Fund), CLCV's sister organization and the non-partisan voter engagement arm of the environmental movement in California. The research was conducted by widely-respected polling firm Tulchin Research.
