fee

Visitors to Old Orchard Beach this summer will see a 33% increase to parking meter fees around the town starting on July 4th weekend

First it was Portland and now the bag fee agenda is moving statewide. There are three bills in the works to add a five cent fee to disposable grocery bags.

Earlier today I was at the grocery store and the bagger asked me if I wanted "paper or plastic”. A once common question, now usually unless you specify that you want paper you’ll get plastic. I replied by saying "plastic" and then groceries went into three or four of those plastic bags.
