NEW YORK – Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Sunday said his upcoming executive budget would include a proposal to ban single-use plastic bags in New York state.
Cuomo said his budget, which he is scheduled to release Tuesday, would also include a proposal to make most non-alcoholic bottles eligible for a 5-cent redemption.
Cuomo, a Democrat, called the bag ban a “bold action” that would “create a cleaner and greener New York for all.”
