Kroger Egg Pricing Turns Merger Trial Into Inflation Fight

Claims that a Kroger executive ‘admitted to price-gouging’ are false. Saying milk and were increased beyond the inflation rate isn’t gouging, by definition.

Price gouging is when a seller raises prices on goods or services to an unreasonable or unfair level, usually during a time of crisis. Some ways to identify price gouging include:
Extraordinarily high prices: Businesses can increase prices, but they shouldn’t raise them excessively to take advantage of a crisis.

Comparing prices to similar products: Some states prohibit significant price increases compared to other products. For example, if bottled water is priced at double the cost of similar products, that may be price gouging.

Increases exceeding a certain percentage: In some states, increases exceeding 20% may be considered price gouging.

Price gouging laws vary by jurisdiction, but they generally come into effect during declared states of emergency and focus on essential goods. In most states, price gouging is a violation of unfair or deceptive practices law.

Doug Chaffee Responds To Article Him

On June 26, 2024, published an article about Doug Chaffee. Doug Chaffee is the former of Penn High School and is currently running for school board. Doug Chaffee is also the of current PHM school board member Matt Chaffee. RNM recently published an article about Matt Chaffee as well.

In the article about Doug Chaffee, RNM claimed that Doug Chaffee engaged in a “terrifying attack” against Matt Chaffee’s girlfriend at the time.

Doug Chaffee reached out to me asking if I’d be willing to publish his response. He expressed that he felt I was the only media outlet that would be fair to him and publish his response without taking sides.

Here’s Doug Chaffee’s statement on Michiana article about him:

Clifton French of RNM has taken our conversation from September of 2023 out of context. He has not provided the full text messages between us, and he has completely twisted my words to him to create a “hit piece” on myself and my son. I am guessing Mr. French has not released the full audio recording he claims to have due to threats he made about killing his ex- and others on that same call. My son and I are no longer going to entertain these defamatory articles as our focus is serving the PHM and its constituents. Thank you to everyone supported and continues to support the Chaffee family in our endeavors to better our community.

– Doug Chaffee

I can not verify the claims made by Doug Chaffee, but I’m told his attorneys approved the release to me. I’m also told ‘s more to come in future releases.
