Bag Bill Passes!

Info@lwfa.org
May 3, 2011

We did it! Montgomery County Council pass a bag bill today by 8 to 1 vote. Click here for more information. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to get this important piece of legislation for Montgomery County. Once again, Montco is leading the country in environmental measures. (Maybe we'll get a bottle bill passed one day!)
