THE ISSUE OF PLASTIC STRAWS COMES UP FOR DISCUSSION AT A SANTA FE CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE MEETING MONDAY NIGHT. YOU MAY RECALL, THERE WAS A RESOLUTION PROPOSED TO ADDRESS THE USE OF PLASTIC STRAWS, WITH SOME THINKING IT CALLED FOR A BAN. NOW, THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS A CHANGE TO THE RESOLUTION MAKES IT CLEAR IT IS NOT CALLING FOR A BAN BUT A “REDUCTION IN USE.”
WITH THE NEW WORDING IT WAS APPROVED BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE 5-TO-ZERO. THE FULL COUNCIL IS EXPECTED TO TAKE UP THE NON-BINDING RESOLUTION AT ITS MAY 30TH MEETING.
