The White Salmon City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to override Mayor David Poucher’s veto of a single-use plastic bag ban ordinance. Poucher says he is in favor of the plastic bag ban, but he was opposed to a mandatory ten-cent charge for paper bags included in the ordinance. Councilor Marla Keethler noted the City went through a long process to reach this ordinance, and the issue may well come up again. Keethler also said the emphasis of the ordinance wasn’t necessarily to ban plastic bags but to require a higher level of plastic bag as an option and to make the fee for paper bags more transparent. Poucher felt government should not be telling businesses what to charge for any item.
