Days after tragedy are no time

for price gouging

To the editor:

Wednesday when the gas scare was on, I drove by one of our local gas stations here in Dexter. The gas had been marked up to $3. I felt ashamed that someone in my community would gouge his fellow man this way. This person made probably $1.50 a gallon above what he paid for the gas. There is no telling how much money he made off his fellow man. I hope he realizes his mistake and will not do this again.
