BASALT — The Basalt Town Council voted 6-1 Tuesday night to approve a fee of 20 cents on each plastic and paper bag used at grocery stores starting in May, the Aspen Times reported.
After 90 minutes of debate, the fee won out despite objections by Mayor Leroy Duroux. He said Basalt should wait until Aspen and Carbondale chart their courses in meetings scheduled for October.
“You can pooh-pooh me and say that will never happen, but can you be certain?” Duroux asked.
