What is an appropriate penalty for gas gouging?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on September 03, 2005
“They should have to sell gas for as much under the real price as they tried to sell it over the real price for the same amount of time.”
— Vicki Zasadny, teacher, Bonner Springs
“I'm honestly not sure they should be penalized, even though I don't agree with what they are doing. The people are just greedy, but I don't think they should be penalized for trying to make money. It's the American way.”
— Ryan Shaughnessy, sticker salesman, Lawrence
“Run 'em out of town. They obviously have no sense of community, so they shouldn't be a part of one.”
— Tim Thompson, factory worker, Lawrence
“The store owner should at least have to pay everyone back the difference in price.”
— Jessica Freeman, Free State High School junior, Lawrence
