Having Solved All Other Problems, Philly Passes Bill to Charge 10 Cent Fee on Paper Bags
4th November 2025
Straws, soda, now paper bags. Is there anything batshit insane Democratic government officials don’t want to tax or micromanage?
In Philadelphia, that answer is apparently ‘no’, according to 6ABC.
While drug ravaged Kensington remains an issue, homeless people litter the streets and violent crime remains a problem, Philadelphia’s City Council just voted 10–5 for a truly groundbreaking idea (eye roll): charging 10 cents per paper bag.
The bill is now on Mayor Cherelle Parker’s desk, and she hasn’t said if she’ll sign it.
Time to leave.
