Gas prices and gangs tend to be high on the list of concerns from our viewers, as we ask for your thoughts each week. For this edition of viewer's voice, Kevin more had a question:
Why weren't teenagers that vandalized JH Rose High School reported as gang members? The definition of a gang is a group of young people who spend time together for social reasons and may engage in delinquent behavior.
We only refer to people as suspected gang members when law enforcement officers say that's the case, after their investigations.
RH Verdier asks:
How about assigning one of your reporters to ask each of our state and national representatives what they are doing to develop America's own oil and gas resources and nuclear power?
It's a subject we often ask our representatives about. For example, this month we reported that Congressman Jones cosponsored the energy independence and price reduction act, to remove restrictions on developing oil and gas in Alaska.
From Ali Wiechel
"I live in Williamston and we had a new gas station open this morning, the gas was $3.83, and all the surrounding stations for regular gas was $4.03 and by tonight it's $3.73 all over town. If the gases at all the gas stations take such a plunge why in the world are our gas prices so high? Thanks for all your great coverage."
We've gotten several questions about the new station's prices, so producer Amy Kibler responded. As we explained when a Sheetz station opened in Greenville, when a new competitor opens, they can do "promotional pricing," for a certain number of days. Thanks to those who wrote and called for viewer's voice.
