SACRAMENTO, Calif . — “Paper or plastic” will no longer be a choice at grocery store checkout lines in Calif ornia under a new law signed Sunday by Gov. Gavin Newsom that bans all plastic shopping bags .
State Sen. Catherine Blakespear, one of the bill's supporters, said people were not reusing or recycling any plastic bags.
