But they banned plastic bags and only buy organic. What more do you want from them?

I disliked the bag ban until I realized how awesome the reduction in litter was. You should try it.

It's weird how conservatives always know a bunch of negative factoids about California. I looked it up, the reason the American Lung Association says 8 out of the 10 most polluted cities are in California is because of the geography of the Sierra Nevadas that traps the smog.

Yeah, I find that fascinating, too.

I was around in the 70s and the smog was truly horrible. We'de still have that if Republicans controlled CA for The last 3 decades.
