"First of all, I'm in favor of making price gouging a crime, and in fact, one the reasons I didn't vote for the Republican House version was because there were too many breaks for the oil companies"

Marty Meehan is revealing his assistance for making price gouging a criminal offense. He believes that the Republican House version of the bill did not go far enough in penalizing oil business for their actions. He thinks that the costs must have been more strict in its guidelines and penalties for oil business that participate in rate gouging. He favors making cost gouging a criminal offense and believes that the Republican House variation of the costs did refrain from doing enough to protect consumers from the actions of oil business. He thinks that the costs needs to have been more effective in punishing oil companies for their actions and that it should have been more strict in its regulations.
