Today, Senate President Martin M. Looney (D-New Haven) and Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff (D-Norwalk) issued the following statement in response to Vice President Harris’s proposal to ban grocery store price gouging.
“We applaud Vice President Kamala Harris for tackling corporate price gouging in the grocery store industry. Senate Democrats put a spotlight on this issue last spring and worked to combat it here in Connecticut through investigations and support for stronger enforcement tools. Democrats are committed to protecting consumers and unafraid of holding corporations accountable. We encourage Congress to follow this lead by supporting the vice president’s common sense proposal and ensuring that Americans are protected from the types of greedy business practices that have burdened families across the nation especially in the wake of the COVID pandemic.”
