Waterville Mayor Nick Isgro is calling for a ban on reusable shopping bags, calling it a “temporary” measure to help prevent the spread of the new coronavirus. Isgro was a vocal opponent of the November 2018 referendum to ban single-use plastic bags in the city. That measure passed by about 150 votes.
