Your Wallet Just Got a Target: Congressman Tom Kean Jr. Backs Bill That Could Hike Your Grocery Bill
Congressman Tom Kean Jr. is co-sponsoring a controversial agricultural reform bill that, according to consumer watchdog groups, will lead to higher prices on dairy and eggs starting next month. While the bill claims to help small farms, the fine print includes new supply chain quotas that economists say could cost the average family an extra $400 a year in staple foods. "This is a hidden tax on your breakfast table," said one consumer advocate. With inflation already squeezing budgets, Kean’s vote is now under fire from constituents who worry their grocery receipts are about to balloon.
