Amherst Town Councilman Daniel J. Ward today called for a public hearing or forum at Amherst Town Hall on Wednesday, June 25, 2008 at 7 P.M. at Amherst Town Hall, 5583 Main Street, Williamsville NY to discuss the gasoline cost crisis, affecting Americans everywhere.  “The ever increasing costs of gasoline is fast pushing America to the brink of economic disaster,” said Ward. “There seems to be no end in sight, and people are beginning to lose faith in their government, and are sick and tired of government officials doing nothing about it.  While the causes are many and complex, and so therefore are the solutions.  But we have to start somewhere,” said Ward, who is a Democratic candidate this year for State Senate.  “I will be there, invite my fellow Town Board members and any of the public that wants to come in and speak of the problems they are experiencing due to this gasoline cost crisis and, more importantly, what they might suggest as remedies to the problem.  And we will be there as long as it takes.”

Ward said his public contacts have shown the excessive cost of gasoline to be the number one consumer problem.  “Worse,” Ward said, “gasoline is also driving up the costs of virtually every other consumer product and most services.  I want to hear the complaints of the citizens on gasoline costs ……. all the problems and all the potential solutions, and all are invited,” concluded Ward.
