Pedigo criticizes Representative Davis for “No” vote on GAS Act - 4/27/06 McMinnvilleAlan
Pedigo leveled criticism at Representative Lincoln Davis for failing to
support the Gasoline for America’s Security (GAS) Act in 2005 in a
speech in McMinnville at the Warren County Republican Party Lincoln Day
Dinner Thursday night. Pedigo noted that the act, which passed by a
narrow margin in the house, directs the Federal Trade Commission to
investigate instances of price gouging and encourages the construction
of new petroleum refineries. Pedigo said, “I am waiting for Mr. Davis
to say that he intends to do something about the rise in gasoline
prices, when he had an opportunity to do something six months ago, and
failed.”
