Thin-film plastic bags common in grocery stores and drug stores are on the chopping block in Rhode Island.
The Rhode Island Senate unanimously approved a ban on thin-film plastic bags earlier this week. Under the proposal, stores would have to offer recyclable bags instead of so-called single-use plastics. (The measure is Rhode Island Senate Bill 2020 S. 2003 Substitute A.)
The math favors Bernie Sanders — not Elizabeth Warren — in Massachusetts, according to one recent poll.
The latest WBUR poll found Sanders leading among likely Democratic voters in Massachusetts. Among them, 25 percent said they would vote for Sanders, an 8 point lead over Warren (17 percent). After them, former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg (14 percent) and former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg (13 percent) rounded out the top four.
