Lawrence city leaders ask to restart discussion of plastic bag ban or fee

The question of whether the City of Lawrence should ban or otherwise limit the use of disposable plastic bags will once again be up for debate. After state legislation to prohibit municipalities from banning plastic bags did not come to pass, Vice Mayor Lisa Larsen asked her fellow commissioners at their meeting Tuesday about bringing the issue of plastic bags back up. Other commissioners agreed they’d like to consider the matter, with Mayor Courtney Shipley adding she was very interested in the topic.
