If approved by the Board of Supervisors and mayor, which could take six months, the fee would be the first of its kind in the country, though several nations charge for shopping bags, and New York City entertained the idea last year. Kick over the wall 'cause government's to fall How can you refuse it? Let fury have the hour, anger can be power D'you know that you can use it?
