Letter: Big Oil does it again

With all the articles about an election still seven months away, and pros and cons about President Obama’s visit to Cuba, there has not been one article dealing with the fact that gas has escalated from $1.49 per gallon to $1.84 in less than three weeks.

That’s 35 cents per gallon, an increase of almost 24 percent in that short time.

What other commodity could that happen to without outrage? Way to go, Big Oil. Pulled the wool over our eyes again.

Go Bernie. Bring them down.
