House Republicans vote to keep gas prices high - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com
Yesterday, House Republicans including Nevada Representative Dean Heller and Nevada Representative Joe Heck voted against an amendment to H.R. 1230, a Republican bill that increases drilling in the United States, but fails to bring down gas prices. All but one Republican voted against the Amendment.
The amendment which was offered by New Mexico Rep. Ben Ray Lujan, a Democrat, would have made it mandatory that the “Oil Drilled in the United States, Stay’s in the United States” for US consumers and not shipped to other countries.
