criticism that reservations

athas account for the third of the state’s Gucci tote bagpopulation, majority of CM and elected representatives who control the co-operative sector. Does this demand underline the failure of the established Maratha leadership? Absolutely. The 10% from the community hold the reins of the sugar and co-operative sector and decide who comes to power. Elections see the use of freebies and money power, and the Maratha community has been trapped in it. These leaders are exploiting the community. “Well Clinton, whom some folks still think was our first black president, bailed him out with a speech during his last campaign. Now he’s telling Obama to man up and honor his commitment on the health care plan,” Bag said. “The president told people if they liked their insurance they could keep it; now he’s saying that’s not true.

 Someone needs to tell him that makes the whole plan looks disingenuous or faulty when already too many people think that,” I said.ng their bags with them when the go to the store, things like that,” said Scafa. Brynne Blevins is one of the many shoppers that chooses to bring their own bags to the store. “I'd like to keep things out of the landfill. I like to teach my kids to reduce and re-use,” said Blevins. While most people are on board with the plastic bag ban, “Little y” Market owner Gary Christopherson said his Gucci cluthescustomers aren’t ready to give up their plastic bags. He said it's not unusual to meet customers with food stamp cards who don’t carry the cash to cover the paper bag fee. “I'm just going to give it to them. If that's against the

law, they can come and give me a ticket. I don't care. I'm not going to let that customer leave without a bag,” said Christopherson. "(Providing paper bags) is tripling, or quadrupling my cost on putting out bags across the counter, when in fact, most of my customers would prefer plastic Hermes constance handbagbags.” At noon tomorrow, city officials are presenting a 6-month update at the Lane Co “That’s what I mean. Jonathan Martin, President Obama. Folks betta handle they business,” Bag said There is criticism that reservations are meant to correct social discrimination and historic wrongs, and not as an instrument of ‘garibi hatao.’ What do you believe? In 1902, Chatrapati Rajashri Shahu Maharaj of Kolhapur introduced 50% reservations for backwards, including Marathas. Reservations in education and jobs have helped OBCs, SCs and STs.
