Chicago Decriminalizes Burlap Curtains

The Chicago City Council narrowly approved an ordinance that will allow residential homeowners to cover up to eight windows with burlap bags. The Federal government has so far not commented on whether it will enforce federal anti-burlap curtain laws. Meanwhile, the City Council continues to consider risky legislation as they get ready to vote on banning plastic nickel, dime and quarter bags that litter city streets, or whether they will ask vendors to charge customers a premium to help deter usage.
