Hi Experts,
I saw following sentence in economist magazine --
The Los Angeles council approved an ordinance to outlaw plastic supermarket bags, by far the biggest city in America to do so. The measure will come into effect next year and includes a 10-cent charge on paper bags for shoppers who do not bring their own reusable ones.
Two questions --
1) How "city" (in bold) can refer to Los Angeles which is not available as noun, but rather as Adjective to the council ?
2) 2nd Sentence uses "The measure will come into effect ... and includes ..." -- probably two different tenses are parallel because measure is already defined - so at present also it includes the definition? But, then also those two things does not look parallel to me -- one talks about "coming into effect" and other talks about "the definition of the measure".
