Gas Price Drumbeat: Urges Columbians call AG Consumer Protection daily Columbians paying $8 more every tankful than Bowling Green residents, writer says By Billy Joe Fudge Personal commentary Last weekend in Bowling Green gasoline was $3.09 per gallon and $3.49 in Columbia. On a 20 gallon fill up, that is $8.00 out of our local citizen's bank accounts compared to those citizens of Bowling Green/Warren County. 40 fill-ups per year for an average driver in Columbia would mean that $320.00 per year would be taken from each driver. We in Columbia/Adair County are really concerned about this new tax which our local, elected officials are levying upon us but seem to be laying down and taking this exorbitant skimming of profits from our pockets like cattle being headed to slaughter. Join me in calling the Kentucky Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division number, 502-696-5389 each and every day until this () is stopped! -- 2014-09-15 07:57:40 | Comments | Printable version
