Do you think Hurricane Katrina will raise gas prices?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on August 30, 2005
“Yes I do, but I think they will come down after Labor Day as they tend to. At least that is my hope.”
— Doug Redding, video clerk, Lawrence
“I would anticipate that happening quite easily. I don't think people think about natural disasters contributing to the rising prices, but I think this one will.”
— Mark Huebner, carnival worker, Kansas City, Mo.
“Maybe a little bit, but I think they were going to go up anyway.”
— Jenny Cook, sales person, Lawrence
“Yes. It might go up, but I'm sure that the people who are affected by the hurricane will work as hard as they can to make sure the gas gets to the people, because they are part of the people.”
— Charles Weinaug, window washer, Lawrence
