Bill to freeze shelf prices on food introduced
Sen. Joseph M. Kenrick and Assemblyman Fred Chel introduced legislation to prevent grocery stores from raising prices on items already priced and displayed on shelves. The bill targets consumer goods exempt from sales tax, mainly food, with Chel calling price hikes a consumer abuse. Kenrick cited existing no repricing policies as commendable.
