Maria's Monday MemoPosted by Editor in Government |
From Senator Maria Cantwell:
Experts Tell Senate Committee How to Burst Energy Price Bubble
Last Tuesday, I chaired a Senate Commerce Committee hearing investigating whether market manipulation or excessive speculation is behind today’s skyrocketing oil and gas prices.
U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash), a vocal critic of the Air Force
decision to give a $35 billion contract for the next generation of
aerial refueling tankers to the heavily subsidized European company,
Airbus, today reacted to the reported resignations of Air Force
Secretary Michael Wynne and Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley.
