Victoria Pike will call AG's office Monday morning

Personal commentary

Victoria Pike writes:
I, for one, will be calling the Attorney General's office come Monday morning and urge others to do the same. I agree with Billy Joe, if enough of us yell loud enough, we can be heard. Just speaking for myself, but I am pretty sure I don't even need a bull horn.

Seriously folks, this is wrong and the only way to change things is to put your two cents worth in every now and then. Some forget, it is our tax dollars that pay their salaries and put them in office. We do have a right to express our opinions, so step or stomp on as many toes as it takes to get someone to listen to the ordinary law abiding citizen who is tired of being taken advantage of at least once a week by the raising of prices 20 to 40 cents and then within 24 hours drop it 10 cents or so to make it look a little better.

So come Monday, let's all start calling the Attorney General and ask that this practice be looked into.

Just my two cents. - Victoria Pike

Ralph Roy Waggener: Suggests petition to AG on gas prices

Comments about: Billy Joe Fudge: Don't drive out of town for gas

By Ralph Roy Waggener
Personal commentary

Billy Joe Fudge, why not start a petition that asks the Attorney General's office to look at the higher prices we pay for gas than other towns around us? South Central Printing will supply the printed forms if you and anyone else are interested in do this. Thanks for taking a stand on the costly gasoline prices we have to pay here in Adair County. I believe it is the lack of competition that we pay a higher price, just my opinion, and at least I like you express mine! Thanks. - Ralph Roy Waggener
