Kennebunk voters will consider plastic bag ban and $43 million education budget
A proposal to ban disposable plastic shopping bags will be sent to voters on the June 14 ballot in Kennebunk.
Residents also will elect two selectmen, two school board members and vote on the Regional School Unit 21 budget.
Selectmen requested the town’s Energy Efficiency Committee develop the plastic bag ordinance with local students after Sea Road School fifth-grader Bella Rossborough and her classmates went public with a report on reactions to similar bans.
The proposal would ban all single-use plastic bags at all stores in town. Paper bags are not included in the ban. Plastic bags used for dry cleaning, newspapers and for meat, fish and fresh produce are exempt from the ban.
