Blatant Price Gouging in Tutty's Town

Tutty went south to Dixon this morning, filled up with gasoline in Forreston, here is the picture of the reciept.  With the COVID-19 precautions there is a glut of gasoline and this is the lowest price per gallon in recent memory.





Arriving back in Freeport I couldn't help but notice Kelly-Williamson (Mobil) still had their price at a whopping $2.38 per gallon.  Picture below was taken at 12:29 pm, March 15, 2020.





So, Mayor Miller, Freeport City Council.  Why is acceptable for Kelly Williamson to gouge Freeporters?  Tutty always thought holder of liquor licenses held themselves to a higher standard...or at least the Freeport City Council would require a higher standard for such licenses.

Freeport leaders can either accept such obvious price gouging among their liquor license holders through their continued (yet still loud) silence or they can take decisive action to ensure that the holder of any such license has consequences for ripping people off.

What will it be Freeport City Council?

As always, yours in honesty, Tutty Baker,  tutty.baker@gmail.com
