Senate Republicans Vote to Continue High Gasoline Prices

In this commentary it says that Republicans voted for higher gas prices. The Republicans voted against the Consumer First Energy Bill. I think that the government needs to do something to lower gas prices. When people today receive a paycheck it goes straight to gas for the vehicles, law mowers, and other gasoline fueled engines. According to the Houston Chronicle, Texas senators did not vote for high gas prices. They believe that the gas prices could go down but probably not that this year because we have to get a supermajority in the Senate, meaning 60 votes. According to the Chronicritic the reason the prices for oil went up because of the people who have taxed the oil and restricted domestic drilling.
