High Court Reviews WV cigarette price ruling
Charleston dispatch reports the West Virginia Supreme Court will review a Fayette County Circuit Court decision ruling the state's minimum cigarette price unconstitutional. The case involves Morris Wender of Oak Hill whose license was revoked for selling cigarettes below the minimum price set by state law. Wender argues the revocation infringes private property rights and due process, while the state contends the statute fixes a price floor to protect competition and public welfare.
