Warning to locals: Price gouging!

   This morning on KCRA 3 they ran a story showing one gas station in Calaveras County lowering prices for one day. However:

  . The story they were really doing was about complaints the State of California is getting about price gouging by some as yet unnamed businesses in or around the Butte Fire area.

   It is illegal to raise prices more than 10% after a disaster. If you feel you are being what they call "gouged" report it to the state. Channel 3 is also going to follow up on this, so you might tell them about it.
