Our politicians helping out the people. The Minnesota Commerce Department on Thursday announced plans to fine a gas station chain $140,000 for repeatedly selling gas below the state's legal minimum price

Sounds more like something from the PRK. But it does prevent people like Wally World from coming in and putting local stations out of business by selling at a loss.
"The price law was intended to prevent large oil companies from driving smaller competitors out of business, but some critics argue it fails to protect consumers." |

Actually, I think it's your gas taxes. Same with IL and MO. MO is usually cheaper because of the IL tax. |
