Price gouging debate swirls as voters react to gas costs
Naples Daily News argues against a House price gouging bill that would punish firms with up to 150 million dollars penalties and individuals with 10 million and ten years in jail.

It also critiques an early 2008 presidential election cycle and the rush of candidates Thompson and Gore.
