Squeeze's Effect Is Amplified On the Less Affluent
Motorists aren't waiting in long lines for gasoline. Consumers continue to spend. Affluent Americans remain barely affected. The U.S. economy has proven remarkably resilient during oil's rise to $100 a barrel. The last big surge, almost three decades ago, contributed to a moribund economy and tight times for many. Yet as the fourth year of rising fuel prices filters down to the pump, to grocery bills and to the thermostat, the cost is clearly starting to pinch some Americans. Gasoline prices lately -- now averaging about $3.05 for a gallon of the regular variety, according to federal data -- are near their highest since 1981, adjusted for inflation. Heating oil also is at historically high levels once adjusted. Many Americans have made only small changes -- meaning oil has room to climb before Americans take bigger steps.
City candidates on the issues
SCOTT: The City Council must have regular updates on projects. The Downtown Partnership should help to oversee taxpayer dollars invested in Rio Nuevo plus the Rio Nuevo Board. The city of Tucson's finance department oversees bids and checks for viability. The private sector must meet the terms of its contracts. .
Early voting to begin Monday for Florida primary
Early voting is set to begin Monday for the Jan. 29 Florida primary and property tax referendum. Early voting is designated by law to begin 15 days before an election. Residents interested in voting early should check with their local elections office for locations. Voters who don't want to make a trip to the elections office can also request an absentee ballot from their county's supervisor of elections by mail or by phone. The last day to request an absentee ballot is Jan. 23. The state Legislature moved up its primary last year to Jan. 29 so that it would have more effect, even though Democratic and Republican party rules state it should take place no sooner than Feb. 5. The national parties have punished Florida by stripping the state of all Democratic delegates and half its Republican delegation to the national nominating conventions.
