Massachusetts lawmakers are coming for your plastic straws

Massachusetts lawmakers are looking at a bill that would ban restaurants from offering plastic straws. Customers would have to ask for a plastic straw or get one from a self-service dispenser.

Sen. Michael Barrett, (D-Lexington) is sponsoring this bill.
