When gas prices topped $3 per gallon in 2018, Sen. Maria Cantwell was furious. But how about now? (Heard on DoriMonsonShow)
When gas prices topped $3 per gallon in 2018, Washington Sen. Maria Cantwell was furious.
So incensed was Cantwell – the top Democrat on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee – thatto act, as the Dori Monson Show reminded listeners on Tuesday. At the time, Cantwell and other Democratic Congressional leaders sent letters to the White House, demanding Trump push Middle Eastern countries in OPEC to pump out more oil.
Four years ago, the increased price cost families an additional $167 a year in fuel costs, Cantwell said at the time. Today, price hikes could translate to a nearly $1,000 annual increase per family.“It shows Cantwell doesn’t really care. Her lack of a current response to fellow Democrat President Joe Biden is proof that there was never empathy with Washingtonians over painful pump prices. It’s all just politics,” Dori said.
