Here's my severely edited Detroit Press letter on the Michigan individual price sticker law. This letter appeared in the Sunday Free Press, February 6, 2011.

Get smarter on pricing

I support the governor's efforts to put to rest the anachronistic individual price sticker law. Really, are Michiganders and Bay Staters (Massachusetts residents) the only people too stupid to read the posted price above the items?

If the individual pricing law is repealed, prices could go down. Profits could go up -- a good thing. More people could be hired to perform meaningful jobs, rather than languish in make-work jobs with no future.
