Ridge testified before the Maryland Senate Economic Affairs Committee against a bill banning major oil firms from operating gas stations with independent dealers.

He urged testifying against the bill, noting federal law requires independent dealers to receive gasoline and condemning perceived discrimination against service stations. He expressed sympathy for households struggling to buy gas and criticized the abuse faced by station operators while seeking fair allocation day by day.
