Senate bill aimed at bread price hike and disclosure limits
The Senate shelved a move to raise bread prices by ten percent while voting to bar public access to major business price data under a wage price controls extension. Senator Tower argued wheat costs hit bakers, harming independents, but others warned big firms would benefit. The panel also approved a disclosure amendment, stripping large companies of having to justify price increases.
