Letter to the Editor

People are asking why gas prices are up $1.00 a gallon over last year. Some say it’s because there aren’t enough refineries. Some say it’s because China and India are using more gas. But the real reason gas is up is because last year was an election year and this year isn’t. The lowest price that gas was last year was coincidentally on election day. Maybe the solution to keeping gas prices low is to have congressional elections every 6 months.
