A challenge to the City of Aspen’s bag-fee ordinance was accepted by the Colorado Supreme Court this week. Detractors question the City Council’s authority to implement and collect funds without bringing the question to voters.
Sitting in for Carolyn Sackariason on Valley Roundup this week is Aspen Public Radio’s Alycin Bektesh. She spoke with Roger Marolt, columnist for the Aspen Times and Snowmass Sun, Madeleine Osberger, contributing editor of the Aspen Daily News, and Randy Essex editor and publisher of the Glenwood Post Independent, about the latest stage in the ongoing bag-fee lawsuit.
