Kucinich Says Gas Companies Take Advantage Of Americans
POSTED: 1:18 pm EDT May 3, 2005
LAKEWOOD, Ohio -- The local lawmaker who wanted to be president now wants to make a law to keep gas prices in check.
At his Lakewood office, Rep. Dennis Kucinich announced his plans Tuesday to introduce the Gas Price Spike Act of 2005.
Kucinich said gas companies are taking advantage of the American people, and he has questions about the White House's role in all of it.
"The oil companies are taking billions of dollars from the American consumers and how does that translate? It translates into people not having enough money for other things in their family," Kucinich said.
Parts of his bill would see a tax placed on oil companies, and a move to make mass transit more convenient.
