Virginia Senate backs bill to outlaw below cost gas sales
The Virginia Senate approved Hawkins predatory pricing legislation 22 to 13 with two abstentions to curb selling fuel below cost. The measure targets large chains like Wawa and Sheetz to protect local stations and promote fair competition, with supporters citing past losses of 39 percent of Virginia’s retailers. A separate note reports the Virginia Tobacco Settlement Foundation plans $6.8 million in grants to 84 groups for youth smoking prevention and cessation amid the state’s $293.8 million share from the tobacco settlement.
