To: *Eugene Mayor, City Council, and City Manager <br />Subject: letter re bag ban from constituent <br />To the Mayor, City Council and City Manager: <br />The city's bag ban has been a nightmare for local businesses and customers. This should have been put <br />to a vote of Eugene citizens before it was implemented. It is punitive and anti - business. <br />Customers are taking bags from other companies and competitors to local retailers, which is terrible <br />marketing for local stores. <br />This ban makes our city and our city government look incredibly foolish and petty. <br />Re this city bag ban, it should be revoked or sent to the voters for approval /disapproval. <br />It's just another example of how difficult the city council makes it to do business in Eugene. It makes us <br />want to do business in Springfield, where they don't have these foolish ordinances. <br />Suzanne L.

There is no need to exempt <br />anyone. Anyone can pay a dollar for a re- useable bag (now available everywhere) that can be used <br />hundreds of times. I have some re- usable bags that I bought at a thrift store and have been using for <br />over 20 years. <br />Thank you for supporting the ban and providing everyone with the incentive to do the right thing for our <br />planet and our future. <br />Sincerely, <br />Sharon Blick <br />From: murphyj murphvi @uoregon.edu <br />Sent: Wed 6/5/2013 10:06 PM <br />To: *Eugene Mayor, City Council, and City Manager <br />Subject: the paper bag fee -- let's keep it, please <br />
