4 S C SUPPORTS CIG FILTER BAN – 01/28/14 17:00 S.S.
SANTA CRUZ COUNTY SUPERVISORS HAVE REPORTEDLY AGREED TO SUPPORT A PROPOSED LAW THAT WOULD PROHIBIT FILTERS IN CIGARETTES. ASSEMBLY BILL 15-04 WAS AUTHORED BY FORMER SANTA CRUZ COUNTY SUPERVISOR MARK STONE, WHO IS NOW THE ASSEMBLYMAN FOR THE 29TH DISTRICT. WITH CIGARETTE BUTTS THE MOST PREVALENT ITEM PICKED UP DURING BEACH AND RIVER CLEAN-UPS, STONE SAYS GETTING RID OF THE PLASTIC FILTERS THAT TAKE FOREVER TO BIODEGRADE IS THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES SENSE.
