OKLAHOMA CITY – The owner of a north Tulsa grocery store said a measure making its way through the Legislature could hurt his business.
The Senate Business and Commerce Committee on Thursday passed Senate Bill 550 by Sen. David Holt, R-Oklahoma City. The vote was 5-2, and the bill now heads to the full Senate for consideration.
The measure would legalize “Black Friday” and other low-price sales.
This is ridiculous. The state has no business setting grocery store prices or food prices. If you cannot compete, do something else.
Just one more example of political pandering to the collectivist streak in Oklahomans.
