In a turnaround, Mayor Michael B. Coleman is considering measures to reduce plastic grocery bags in Columbus. That could be anything from charging fees and providing incentives for using reusable bags to an outright ban. “He’s resolved to do something with this issue,” said Coleman’s spokesman Dan Williamson. “He wants to understand the options.” When asked about plastic bag fees or bans in the past, Coleman repeatedly said he preferred to recycle them.
