The proposed “industry funded fee” on fresh Christmas trees is being back-burnered. Nothing like some public backlash heading into an election season to put an administration in the holiday spirit.
Actually, the delay appears to be in order to buy the Department of Agriculture some time to figure out a better way to explain to us why making things more expensive is always the best way to get a segment of the economy moving again.
From The Hill:
The Department of Agriculture on Thursday officially delayed a proposed 15 cent per tree fee paid by Christmas tree producers in order to fund a marketing and promotion effort to help boost tree sales.
[...]
“Due to recent events, the regulations are stayed in order to provide all interested persons, including the Christmas tree industry and the general public, an opportunity to become more familiar with the program,” it said.
Great tree industry promotion on the part of the Agriculture Department. Just as Christmas tree season approaches, they announced an initiative that gave consumers the impression that the cost of fresh Christmas trees would be rising. Traditionally that’s not the kind of news that gets businesses turnstyles moving faster, buy hey, who am I to argue with administration economists?
