Danville opinion piece argues against Delegate Boschen’s bill to require plain price and cost figures on every item. It warns such rigid labeling harms merchants, invites undercutting, and could curb legitimate profits while failing to curb gouging. It cites merchant opposition led by Richard E. Byrd and warns about distortions from overregulation.
