DeWine Increases Gas $$$
The Enquirer - Exxon soars, drivers moan
Sen. Mike DeWine, R-Ohio, said a bill he co-sponsored would reduce gas prices in the long term. It won approval Thursday from the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The bill would require the Justice Department, the Federal Trade Commission and the Government Accountability Office to examine antitrust laws and consider whether changes are needed to promote competition in the oil industry.
That’s pretty ballsy coming from the guy who keeps on blocking drilling in Alaska. Here’s what BILL PIERCE said about that.
Senator Mike DeWine has voted against drilling in ANWR four times and has failed to offer any alternatives. Had he been our Senator in the mid-1970’s when the same debate was being waged, while using the same arguments, over Prudhoe Bay and the trans-Alaskan pipeline would never have been built. The result? A 20% loss in today’s domestic oil production, and the Caribou heard would be smaller because they have actually flourished due to the food supplies which grow under the pipeline.
Pierce for Senate!

Yeah, what is it with these politicians who keep raising our gas prices? They need to be booted out of office.
Jean Schmidt, who was found GUILTY on both counts by the Ohio Elections Commission, voted to raise Ohio’s Gas Tax by 27%. Our gas prices are now higher by 6 cents/gallon because of her and Bob Taft.
