Input: Consider Input: 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 .

Input: Consider Input: Ever since early 2016 , when the Republican Party began to fussily resettle itself behind Donald Trump , Mitt Romney has been an intermittent oppositional figure , distinct from his party in both point of view and style . 
The conservative movement has grown smirking , clannish , quarrelsome ; Romney has been formal , chiding , and pained . 
After Trump won the election , that November , Romney met with Trump in the hope of securing for himself the position of Secretary of State . 
Yet this summer , after a white-supremacist rally in Charlottesville turned deadly , Romney professed deeper anxieties . 
For half a century , Romney and his family have existed close to the center of the Republican Party . 
Now -- just six years removed from being his party 's Presidential nominee , but with no distinct Romneyist camp in Washington and no obvious constituency to summon -- it is n't obvious that Romney fits in at all . 
Last week , the Utah senator Orrin Hatch announced that he would be retiring at the end of his term this year , and immediately Romney 's allies suggested that he would run for the seat ; the common wisdom was that his election would be all but assured . 
-LRB- Romney , a man of many residences , built his political career in Massachusetts , but he went to college in Utah , and helped to save the Salt Lake City Olympics from ruin in 2002 ; he is the most recognizable Mormon in the world , and he would be running in a state whose Republican Party is defined by its relationship to the L.D.S. Church . -RRB- 
Romney 's candidacy is still unannounced , and its most important position -- what line the candidate takes on the President -- is not yet obvious . 
"This thing is still developing ," one of Romney 's longtime advisers told me last week . 
But already the most romantic vision of Romney -- that he might arrive in Washington as the de-facto leader of an anti-Trump faction -- seems unlikely . 
"I 've heard some relatively simplistic assessments that he is going to be the voice of the Never Trump movement ," a senior adviser to Romney 's Presidential campaign said last week . 
Romney is a very pragmatic politician , too . 
Romney himself has made no sign of wanting to be part of such a faction , even if it existed . 
One of his advisers reminded me last week that Romney took the idea of being Trump 's Secretary of State seriously , and believed that Trump 's interest in him was entirely sincere . 
And , a month after his appalled reaction to Charlottesville , Romney tweeted praise for Trump 's speech before the U.N. General Assembly . 
Romney 's potential for tragedy and heroism both spring from the same source : the depth of his feeling for a version of America that may exist only in his mind , a place where the trees in Michigan are exactly the right height . 
Romney 's return to Utah has some elements of a homecoming ; it is also , more simply , a move to accommodating political terrain . 
Utah is a conservative state whose politics are moving toward Romney , rather than away . 
Modern Utah , the place of the salvaged Salt Lake Olympics , exists in the Romney image .

Input: Consider Input: All this shows that having LeBron James on a team comes with a lot of unwanted attention . 
Since returning to Cleveland in 2014 , LeBron has been at the front of the speculation on why his former head coach David Blatt was fired , and the main reason for Kyrie Irving demanding a trade . 
Throughout the process , LeBron has not always done things quietly and has often been the center of attention for all the wrong reasons . 
So far in January , LeBron has looked anything but one of the greatest players of all-time , or even one of the best players in the NBA . 
No , LeBron is not in jeopardy of not being wanted , but his riskreward ratio is not nearly as positive as it once was and is getting drastically worse by the tweet . 
It just so happened that after Irving wanted a trade , LeBron sent out a tweet giving advice to his 40 million followers to not "let anyone ride your wave ." 
Ever since his NBA arrival on October 29 , 2003 , LeBron James has made 29 other teams desperately wish they had him . 
Do the Lakers want to disrupt their young nucleus and add LeBron to the circus that already exists with the Ball family ?
