Cantwell tires to appeal to Eastern Washington Voters

It looks like Cantwell is at it again with her talk of gas price descrepencies. Check this out from the Olympian website.

SPOKANE - Just why were gasoline prices in Eastern Washington, particularly Spokane, so much higher this summer than prices in Western Washington? U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell on Friday again pressed the federal government for an answer.


While an initial survey by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission blamed the differences on technical issues related to Rocky Mountain refineries that supply much of Eastern Washington's gas, Cantwell is not convinced.

"I don't believe your preliminary analysis went far enough in providing an accurate assessment of petroleum price differentials between Seattle and Spokane," the Washington Democrat wrote in a letter to the FTC on Friday, asking for another look at the issue.

1. The fact that the gas pumped in Spokane, and the gas that is pumped in Seattle come from different parts of the world, matter little to Sen. Cantwell. That supply and demand thing, sure is a bitch!
