Re: Info on bills to reduce gas taxes

How about asking the fuel wholesalers and retailers, whose gasoline 
markups are still (after about a 10% drop following our public inquiry), 
to place 50% of the difference between gas prices in Latah Co. area, and 
those in Lewiston area, into a US95 highway fund? Of course this may 
sound ludicrous, but it might just encourage those dealers who still set 
their prices 10-15% above those of neighboring areas to exercise true 
fairness toward their consumers. Who benefits from their high markups? Do 
you have any intention of holding some kind of legislative review of such 
practices?
