Political Quotes

“I want to talk about gasoline prices in the country and in Nevada. This is a terribly difficult situation. It is a story about the wild west, but it is not about Wild Bill Hickock or cowboys or mining or claim jumping. It is about gasoline. Some refer to it as black oil. This chart illustrates how the gasoline prices in Nevada have skyrocketed. The prices are as of April 5. Prices now are at least 5 cents higher. I was in Nevada last week. Gas prices were approaching $2.50 a gallon in some locations. This has been a burden on the people of Nevada and visitors who come there. The average price on January 5 of this year in Nevada was $1.64 a gallon, which was pretty high compared to the rest of the country. But now it is much higher. This chart, as I have indicated, is as of April 5. We have had an increase in the State of Nevada of about 50 cents a gallon. We can't keep up with the increases in the price with our charts. This is outrageous.”
