Gas prices in the Phoenix area (and
apparently in other states, also) have increased due to market forces
(supply and demand) we are being told. Fair enough. But in theory, a shortage
here due to a pipeline break should mean a glut somewhere else... Like
Tucson... If prices there are not down to about 50 cents / gallon, then the gas
station owners' argument falls flat. So what are Tucson gas prices? Price
gouging may not be illegal, but price fixing and collusion in competitive
markets is. Unfortunately, neither our Governor, nor Attorney General, have the
spine to make the necessary phone calls to break the bureacratic red tape (and
foot-dragging) to get the supply running again. And when it's over, then what?
Will she have the courage to go against her Environmentalist supporters and make
positive changes to the fuel delivery system in this state? Oh yea, this
was off-topic!
