CLC Zaps Milk Board
The Cost of Living Council listened to the arguments for a
Pennsylvania Milk Marketing Board price increase this week
and tossed it out Some observers feel the increase will go
through on September 12, some feel it won’t go through at
all, and many feel that the latest stumble by the PMMB is just
another example in a Shapp-McHale-Kapleau effort to
scuttle the board altogether. The govenor reportedly wants
to live up to a campaign promise to get rid of the board in
order to lower prices to consumers There is, in fact, an
administration-sponsored bill in the State Senate which
would do away with the board Political machinations aside,
the Cost of Living Council action is seen as having little effect
on dairymen here and across the state, since most dairies
have already voluntarily increased their payments to dealers
along with their retail prices Some market uncertainty is
seen resulting from the PMMB’s repeated goofs, and this
could mean a slowing down of hikes in prices to farmers who
need more money to handle higher costs
