Gas Price Gouging Investigation Continues
September 17th, 2008 by flanewsReports of gas price gouging continue to come in from across the state. More than 2-thousand complaints have been processed by workers at the state�s two hotlines. Sixteen gas companies were subpoenaed by the state for info about why their prices shot up over the weekend. Attorney General Bill McCollum doesn�t think all of the companies are guilty of gas price gouging.
�There are quiet a few people who are getting subpoenas that will turn out to have invoices like McKenzie did here locally that will show the fact they had prices they�re simply passing on and that�s not price gouging, but I also suspect we�re going to find that some people when out and raised the prices too soon or raised them higher than they should have,� said McCollum
The companies have seven days to comply with the subpoenas.
