A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS THE SENTIMENT OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA THAT THE EVER INCREASING PRICES OF GASOLINE AND OIL PRODUCTS SHOULD BE ENDED AND SPECIFIC STEPS TAKEN TO ACCOMPLISH THIS PURPOSE.

Whereas, over the past year the price of gasoline at the retail pumps has increased by as much as fifty cents per gallon; and

Whereas, in the small State of South Carolina at the price of two dollars per gallon for gasoline this costs our state's citizens approximately six billion dollars per year; and

Whereas, during the past year the increase of fifty cents per gallon has cost South Carolina consumers one and one-half billion dollars; and

Whereas, the cost of gasoline is taking dollars out of South Carolina that are desperately needed to build highways or improve the state's economy; and

Whereas, the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina calls upon the President of the United States and the members of the United States Congress to take immediate action to prevent further escalation of prices at retail pumps. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, express the sentiment that the ever increasing prices of gasoline and oil products should be ended and specific steps taken to accomplish this purpose.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the President of the United States and the members of the South Carolina Congressional Delegation.
