10. PERSONNEL COMMITTEE - CHAIRMAN FRANKE—No Report
11. RECYCLING & WASTE COMMITTEE—CHAIRMAN FEICHTER—Trustee
Feichter stated communities across the country are facing the issue of plastic bags. It takes a
long period of time for a plastic bag to disintegrate in the soil. Many people are concerned
because of the volume of plastic bags that are used. The State Legislature came up with an
answer which would involve corporations that use plastic bags having a way of regulating them.
A law was passed, but a young girl, Abby Golberg, from Grayslake did not think it was a good
law. She felt communities would lose their independent right to determine whether or not they
would want to ban plastic bags or set any other regulations of the bags. Ms. Golberg collected
150,000 signatures and presented them to Governor Quinn. Governor Quinn vetoed the
Legislation. This is an example of what one person can accomplish. Each individual community
is able to decide what they want to do with this environmental issue.
