Chicago to stop the sale or possession of plastic bags


CHICAGO - Aldermen have given preliminary approval to an ordinance that would ban the sale or possession of tiny plastic bags often used by drug dealers. WBBM Political Editor Craig Dellimore reports the City Council Health Committee has okayed the measure. The bags are two-inch, sealable, plastic and stamped with little logos, like hearts, spiders or superhero symbols. And 2nd Ward Alderman Bob Fioretti says, in his area, they’re used to hold crack cocaine and heroine. Many are decorated with little logos that police say identify the kind of drugs contained within.
