Sebelius, other governors, want probe of gasoline price increases

? Ten Democratic governors, including Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and Missouri Gov. Bob Holden, sent a letter Wednesday to President Bush asking federal authorities to investigate the cause of the recent spike in gasoline prices.

“This is a significant national concern, and it deserves more than the traditional Washington political response of pointing fingers,” the letter said.

The letter asked for a complete explanation of why prices have risen so significantly in the last several weeks.

In addition to Sebelius and Holden, letter was signed by Govs. Janet Napolitano of Arizona, Ruth Ann Minner of Delaware, Joseph Kernan of Indiana, Thomas Vilsack of Iowa, Jennifer Granholm of Michigan, Bill Richardson of New Mexico, Gary Locke of Washington and Jim Doyle of Wisconsin.
