Georgia Residents: Please write down this number (Price Gouging)
“We will not tolerate the exploitation of Georgia consumers as we recover from the effects of Hurricane Katrina,” said Governor Sonny Perdue. “Violators of this price gouging statute will be punished to the fullest extent possible.”

Citizens are asked to report any suspected incidences of price gouging to the Georgia Office of Consumer Affairs at (404) 651-8600 or (800) 869-1123. Any violators of Georgia’s price gouging statute will be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Georgia’s price gouging statute prevents retailers from selling goods or services at an unreasonable or egregious price. Georgia’s price gouging statute does not prevent price increases that accurately reflect an increase in the cost of the goods or services to the retailer, an increase in the cost of transporting the goods or services into the area, or an increase due to the market forces of supply and demand.

So far people seemed good natured but the seeds to turn ugly are there. i bet a bunch of those "W" stickers come off the SUV's the next few days even in suburban and exurban Atlanta.

He put his gas up to more than $8.00 per gallon, and the local news had pictures and HAMMERED him for days, even after he lowered it an apologized...they were merciless that he was trying to profit from human misery.
