The forth issue in the Dorchester poll was whether Oregon should ban plastic bags which is based on the Oregon Senate Bill 536 (see Oregon Plastic bag ban – bag tax). This bill would outlaw plastic bags as a consumer choice and would tax 5-cent fro every time the consumer wished to use a paper bag. 92% of the 600 Dorchester attendees said no. This stunning rejection in the 90% range is one of the most unpopular ideas polled in the few decades of Dorchester. Clearly, this is troubling news for bag ban-bag tax supporters.
Ban plastic bags?
92% — NO
8% — YES
