Crackdown planned on gas price posting in county
In Canton the St. Lawrence County Department of Consumer Affairs announced a hard line on gas stations failing to post a 12 by 12 inch sign showing price per gallon. Director Fred Selleck says fines start at 100 dollars, with 500 dollars for subsequent offenses, and warnings will precede citations as inspections continue countywide. He emphasizes protecting consumers who must see posted prices from approaching pumps.
