I can see both sides of this issue, John. If lawmakers are doing public business they should be able to bill that to the taxpayer. The problem is that there’s little or no oversight of that and they fall out of touch with the real world.

It’s simple.

Unless or until elected officials take action to bring down obscene (compared to oil company profits) gas prices, let’s stop allowing elected officials to charge their gas to us.

Oh, you didn’t know or maybe forgot that you pay your honorables’ gas bills? You do.

You pay for gas for members of Congress. You pay for gas for members of your Legislature.
