Gas war

House Democrats and Republicans continue to squabble over the nation's skyrocketing gasoline prices.

Minority Leader John A. Boehner, Ohio Republican, introduced legislation yesterday to force the House Democratic leader, Nancy Pelosi, to reveal details of a 2006 campaign pledge to lower gas prices.

"Two years ago this week, Speaker Pelosi promised the American people that the Democrats had a 'common-sense plan' to lower rising gas prices," Mr. Boehner said.

The minority leader noted that average gas prices have increase about $1.20 per gallon since the California Democrat became speaker in January 2007.

"This 'Pelosi Premium' is putting the squeeze on American families and small businesses who want meaningful action from Congress, not empty campaign promises or hollow legislation that has no real impact on the price of gasoline," he said.
