Why am I getting a letter that says Wal-Mart and Fred Meyers are excluded?
The opposition to the Green Fee – the American Chemistry Council – paid for a letter to citizens that has a number of misleading bullet points. One bullet point states that the ordinance excludes stores like Wal-Mart and Fred Meyers. Well, they don’t seem to know that we don’t even have any Wal-Marts in Seattle! And the ordinance clearly states that stores with NAICS codes (stores that sell groceries and/or drugstore items as well as superstores) are included and the Seattle Fred Meyers have those NAICS codes. The SPU director can, at his/her discretion allow these store to exclude non-grocery purchases from the bag fee. Claiming that Walmart and Fred Meyers are excluded is an example of the American Chemistry Council trying to confuse the voters.
