Under the measure to take effect in 2026, shoppers will still be able to purchase bags made of thicker plastic that purportedly makes them reusable and recyclable

    Original Associated Press article instead of giving traffic to Voice of America

    Edit: and a good LA Times article explaining the glaring flaw with the original 2014 law.

        Yeah np; VOA is I feel overall pretty tame as national propaganda outlets go, but it’s nonetheless expressly conceived of and funded as a propaganda outlet, so that’s not much of a compliment.

        Plus, a news agency article from its own website tends to have a better shelf life than syndicated versions of that article.

          VOA seems very factual and accurate in their reporting. Their bias exists in that they’ll never report on something that doesn’t align with US interests.
