Normally, Labor Day signals the end to the summer driving season and consequentially gas prices tend to fall. But not this year. AAA reports that the average price in Nevada for regular, unleaded gasoline is now $2.92, a 13-cent increase from their last survey on September 11. But people living in southern Nevada should take solace in the fact that while our average price is $2.81 a gallon, our neighbors to the north in Reno are paying an average of $3.12 per gallon, a 27-cent increase from last month. The national average is actually down 3 cents from last month.
The price of gas must stay low if we want the economy to continue to do well. Beware of the party that clams to want to help the poor but keeps coming up with new tax ideas to hurt them. The latest Clinton idea would add $0.50 a gallon to the price of gas. Making it harder for the poor to get to work and buy food and other things that would increase with transportation cost.

Right!
Just like the former dead beat Sheriff Bill Youngs cop tax.
All that money for cops we don’t need. Promised not to be used for pay raises yet, this is exactly what they have done.
The people who make the taxes and convince stupid people to vote for it, keep getting richer and the tax payers loose.
