Here's a comment I recieved via e-mail, posted with permisssion from Warren Brickell, who lives in Normandy Park and works in Seattle:

"The Mayor has lost it! I reuse plastic bags as trash can liners. I will then have to buy trash bags, and either way a bag is going into the landfill. This is a tax on the working poor. You're right about the coffee cups, the latte-sipping elite, and their corporate masters at Starbucks are not going to be happy with you, though. If the Mayor thinks these hare-brained ideas are his springboard to higher office, think again. He won’t be re-elected dog catcher, let alone mayor. He wants to charge me a toll to drive on his pot-hole filled streets on my way to work, so I can be taxed, only half of Seattle school children get a diploma, the viaduct, which diverts 250,000 cars around the city each day falls into the sea, meanwhile, criminal gangs rule the city. Too much."
