More competition along with less state legislation interferring
with prices to consumers would help Middle Tn consumers
more than anything. Only two corporate names(not brand
names)in this area control most retail purchases. State
restricts companies like Kroger, Sam's club and others
from selling gasoline any lower than 3-5 cents below
neighboring retailers. That should/could be lifted.
It has to do with China and the price of food and consumer goods world wide. They just covered it on all of the financial media stations.... ergo...not much we can do about it, sadly.
What? You mean we can't blame Obama or Congress? What will we do??
I think this is a reason why we need to implement Streetcars, lightrail, and more commuter rails in Davidson County and the Middle Tennessee area.
