question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ian Calderon ? in restaurants to offer customers plastic straws without first being asked . Since introducing his bill last week    Democratic Assemblyman Ian Calderon  has been the target of scorn from critics who call  his  proposal " absurd " and an overreach of government . " It really is a reasonable measured approach that I think will make a difference  "  Calderon  told ABC News on Monday about  his  proposed bill . California State Asssembly  He  explained that when  he  sent the proposal to the state legislative rules committee   health and safety code penalties were automatically tacked on   making it a misdemeanor punishable by six months in jail and a $ 1   000 fine for dine - in restaurants caught offering plastic straws without being requested . " I didn ' t actually ask for penalties  " Calderon said . " They were more or less prescribed to my bill by the code section ." But critics immediately jumped on him . Assemblyman Travis Allen   a Republican candidate for governor of California   asked people on his campaign Facebook page to protest the bill by flooding Calderon ' s office with plastic straws . California State Assembly " Instead of tackling the real issues   today ' s California Democrats are more interested in giving jail time to waiters offering their customers the convenience of having a straw  " Allen told ABC News on Monday . " This is one absurd bill   but it highlights how ridiculous the California Democrats have gotten . This is clearly the last straw ." Paul Preston said such laws are the reason he co - founded a movement to break up the state and form a New California   where regulations aren ' t overbearing and discouraging to businesses . " It ' s absolute lunacy  " Preston told ABC News of  Calderon  ' s bill . " They are criminalizing everything we do . It ' s over the top ."  Calderon  brushed off the bashing   saying an estimated 500 million plastic straws are used every day in the United States and most are just used once and discarded .  He  said plastic straws and stirrers were the sixth most common items collected during California Coastal Cleanup Days between 1989 and 2014 . " We need to create awareness around the issue of one - time use of plastic straws and its detrimental effects on our landfills   waterways and oceans  " Calderon said . STOCK PHOTO / Getty Images He said he ' ll work to get the bill ' s language rewritten so that no one fears going to jail or paying hefty fines for handing out plastic straws . He said he expects the bill to reach Gov . Jerry Brown ' s desk for approval in about two months . " Nobody is going to jail   nobody is going to be getting a $ 1   000 fine  " said Calderon   adding that the bill does not affect fast - food restaurants or grocery stores . He said critics like Allen are " grasping at straws " by saying such legislation is hurting businesses in California . " It ' s a ridiculous argument  " he said . Sharokina Shams -- a spokeswoman for the California Restaurant Association   which represents more than 20   000 restaurants in the state -- told ABC News her group is taking a wait - and - see approach on  Calderon  ' s bill . " The association will study the bill ' s potential impacts and consult with its membership before taking an officials stance on the bill  " said Shams   adding that  Calderon  ' s proposal " is preferable to an outright ban on straws ." Matt Davis   a spokesman for the national environmental group Clean Water Action   said Calderon ' s proposal makes sense . " It ' s great he ' s doing it  " Davis told ABC News . " It does reduce the amount of straws that restaurants are giving out and that ' s a good thing ." He said cities such as Alameda   California   have passed local straws - on - request ordinances and that many restaurants have saved money by not having to provide so many straws . He compared it to the plastic shopping bag ban passed by California voters in 2016 or water - on - request ordinances used to combat the state ' s drought   saying people got used to it . In New Jersey   too   local businesses have been participating in an initiative to reduce plastic straw use . And it has dramatically reduced the number of straws the companies are giving out   according to the Montclair Local . A local eatery said it was using about a tenth of the straws it had previously used on a monthly basis   from 6   800 straws to 650   the paper reported . Back in California   Davis said Calderon ' s concerns that plastic straws are fouling up the ocean are real . " There is going to be more plastic in the ocean than there are fish by 2050  " Davis said   citing a study by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation that was presented to the World Economic Forum in 2016 . He said that plastic breaks down into minute particles that fish mistake for food . " I don ' t want plastic in my sushi  " he said .

Positive


question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Andrew McCabe ? FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe  a target of frequent and aggressive criticism by President Donald Trump  abruptly stepped down from his position Monday ahead of his planned retirement this spring.
 McCabe   who has held a number of FBI leadership roles and been heavily involved in investigations into major crimes including the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing  becomes eligible for retirement in a matter of weeks. FBI staff learned Monday that  McCabe  was leaving the bureau's No. 2 post effective immediately  according to people who spoke only on condition of anonymity to discuss an internal personnel move. He is expected to retire with full pension benefits.
In a message Monday to FBI employees  Wray said  McCabe  would be retiring on March 18 and denied that the move stemmed from political pressure.
The exit comes amid multiple ongoing investigations  including a Justice Department watchdog probe into the actions of  McCabe  and other top FBI officials during the Clinton email probe. In addition  special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating whether the Trump campaign improperly coordinated with Russia during the 2016 presidential election and whether Trump sought to obstruct the inquiry by  among other actions  firing Comey.
 McCabe  has been repeatedly assailed by Trump since the fall of 2016  when it was revealed that  his  wife had accepted campaign contributions from the political action committee of then-Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe  a Democrat and close Clinton ally  during a failed state Senate run. That episode is among the decisions under review by the Justice Department's inspector general  which is expected to complete its report soon.
The FBI has said  McCabe  received the necessary ethics approval  and that at the time of the contributions   he  was not in a supervisory role on the Clinton email investigation. But that has not stopped Trump and Republicans in Congress from repeatedly asserting that  McCabe   and other FBI officials  are partisan law enforcement officials harboring a bias against him.
Responding to December news reports that  McCabe  would retire  the president wrote: "How can  FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe  the man in charge  along with leakin'  James Comey  of the Phony Hillary Clinton investigation (including her 33 000 illegally deleted emails) be given $700 000 for wife's campaign by Clinton Puppets during investigation?"
Another of the president's tweets from last year said: "Why didn't A.G. Sessions replace Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe  a Comey friend who was in charge of Clinton investigation " referring to Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Though  McCabe  has pushed back against White House narratives that Comey was not well-liked within the bureau  and that an ongoing FBI investigation into Trump campaign ties to Russia was not a significant matter for the FBI   he  has not publicly discussed in detail  his  interactions with Trump or shared any personal observations of the president.
That could change upon  his  departure from the FBI. Comey  for instance  after his firing authorized a close friend to share with reporters details of his own encounters with the president that he said troubled him. And former CIA Director John Brennan and James Clapper  the retired director of national intelligence  have been outspoken about their own views of Trump.
He took over as acting director following Trump's May 9 firing of Comey  and was among the officials interviewed for the position  which ultimately went to Wray  a former Justice Department official. The Washington Post reported last week that Trump asked  McCabe  whom he had voted for in the presidential election. Trump has said he does not recall asking that question.
 McCabe 's defenders call  him  a thoughtful  intelligent and committed career agent.
Comey tweeted that  McCabe  "stood tall over the last 8 months  when small people were trying to tear down an institution we all depend on."
Former Attorney General Eric Holder tweeted: " FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe  is  and has been  a dedicated public servant who has served this country well. Bogus attacks on the FBI and DOJ to distract attention from a legitimate criminal inquiry does long term  unnecessary damage to these foundations of our government."
Two days after Comey's firing   McCabe  appeared at a congressional hearing and contradicted a White House assertion that Comey had lost the support of FBI rank-and-file. He declared  "I can tell you that the majority  the vast majority of FBI employees  enjoyed a deep and positive connection to Director Comey."
