FTC staff level delay fuels stamp tax case doubts
An FTC information officer said the case remains at the staff level, not shelved, indicating it has not cleared the second preliminary stage. The inquiry involves the Investigation Bureau, Sheehy’s bureau, and a potential five member commission ruling, with hearings to follow. The delay gives the stamp industry hope it hides illegality while the Agriculture Department weighs food cost impacts. Indiana University research found no support that stamp trading raises food prices.
