Full of Gas



Californians are paying more for gasoline than motorists anywhere in the
nation
and there's no good reason for it. That's what the California Energy
Commission
has said in weekly reports. But today, in a report responding to the Gov's
call for
an investigation into high gas prices, Schwarzenegger's Commission says it
has
to study the problem more.

What does a politician do when he needs to appease both angry motorists and
an oil industry that's given him $2.3 million in campaign contributions?
Study,
study and study it some more. What happened to California's action hero? Why
won't the Governor support new price gouging legislation - AB 457
http://www.consumerwatchdog.org/energy/pr/?postId=6483 that allows him to
call for oil industry prosecutions if gasoline prices rise by 10% and
production
costs don't justify them? Why did Schwarzenegger come out last week
against
a November ballot measure

opposed by the oil industry that would develop alternative energy sources?

So long as Arnold's campaign buses keep running on oil industry
cash, we won't
ever hear "Action" on high gasoline prices.
