LA County Bans Plastic Bags California’s Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger supported a statewide ban on plastic bags, but it was killed in the state legislature. This week Los Angeles County enacted a ban of its own. It applies to about one million people that don’t live in incorporated cities—and it will cover about 1000 stores and pharmacies. The vote on the Board of Supervisors was three to one, and Zev Yaroslavsky was in the majority.
