Ian Masters, BACKGROUND BRIEFING

We look into how oil companies and oil refiners are making out like bandits with price gouging at the pump both nationally where gas is $3.94 per gallon and in California where it is $6 and more a gallon. Joining us is Jamie Court, the president of Consumer Watchdog, a consumer group that has been fighting corrupt corporations and crooked politicians since 1985. His latest book is, The Progressive’s Guide To Raising Hell: How To Win Grassroots Campaigns, Pass Ballot Box Laws And Get The Change You Voted For—A Direct Democracy Toolkit. And he has an article at Consumer Watchdog we discuss, “CA Oil Refiners Raking In More Than $1.50 Per Gallon In Profit.”
