nick pasqual just drained your wallet: the hidden fee you didn't see on your last grocery receipt
You probably didn't notice it, but that extra fifty cents on your milk or bread might trace back to a quiet policy shift pushed by "nick pasqual" and his lobbying group last month. A new state-level "distribution adjustment fee" is now being tacked onto wholesale costs for dairy and baked goods—and retailers are passing it straight to you. Consumer advocates say this could add up to $15 to the average family's monthly grocery bill, hitting low-income households hardest. Check your receipt for a tiny line item labeled "DAF"—if it's there, you're paying for a loophole that benefits corporation bottom lines, not your kitchen table.
