Back in 2019, it was $2.38 per gallon. Judging from the news, it appears there’s no end in sight to the rising gas prices. The United States was once oil independent – now we’re groveling to OPEC and Russia. But on the upside, at least we’re not in California, where gas prices have already hit $4.58 per gallon.

The Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault & Sexual Harassment Act gives power back to the survivor by allowing them to secure justice against their perpetrator in whatever legal manner they choose. This bill is pro-worker, pro-women, and pro-equality – it’s a win for anyone who holds a job, has a loved one in a nursing home, uses a rideshare app, or signs a property lease. It’s a win for evVOTES| SEE PAGE 19
