Here are your comments from our survey:
1. The price for gas is sickening. But even more nausiating is the fact that we all stand for it. American society has lost the one characteristic that makes this country truly unique-our refusal to be stand for injustice. "Well, europeans pay more that us" or "times are changing" or "that's just the world we live in now-a-days" are just pathetic excuses because no one wants to act. We all talk but do nothing as long as we look good in our Ford Excursions or Chevy Avalanches. And how backwards in the US government?-let's send out money to people to help the economy?-money that will be spent filling our gas tanks. If you want the economy to get better, lower gas prices. With lower gas prices people will eagerly travel and spend all kinds of money. Wake up, stop complaining, and act. Mon, 5/12/08 10:39 AM

4. We live on a fixed, retirement income and also grew up at the end of the great depression and find that except for people that have a long commute to work the gas price is forcing people to use commom sense to their lifesyle . I rather injoy the decrease in traffic by my home and the sense that people will be using their energy efficient vehicle on neccessary trips only , Mon, 5/12/08 10:00 AM
5. people workiung for minimum wage and having to drive 15-20 miles one-way to work a part-time job to try and put food on the table are finding it extremely difficult to provide for themselves and their families. Mon, 5/12/08 10:00 AM

10. AND OUR GOVERNMENT DOES NOTHING TO HELP AS ALWAYS Mon, 5/12/08 3:45 AM
11. I'd like to buy a more fuel efficient vehicle but have trouble affording one. It seems like the only people that can afford to buy a hybrid car make enough that they don't have to worry as much about the gas prices. Sun, 5/11/08 9:26 PM

20. The fuel costs are unreal. How are the low income "working" suppose to afford the costs of heating fuel in the fall/winter months to come. Even those of us that make a substantial amount of money are tending to struggle. I cannot afford to trade in my vehicle for an economy one. I hope that the people that are getting alittle extra in their pockets from the higher costs of gas are happy for making the working people struggle to make ends meet. Fri, 5/9/08 8:45 PM
21. Because of living in a small town with no major grocery store, gas station, or department store and no public transportation, I have to drive to purchase just about everything.

58. The geography and sparse population limit the options for alternate forms of transportation. For the few that work for a living in this county, we must rely on our personal vehicles to get us there. Don't count on the Federal or State governments to bail you out on this one. You'll just have to decide where to reduce your spending or get a higher paying job. Oops. There aren't many jobs because St. Lawrence County doesn't want more jobs. If they did, they would tell the nutcases complaining about Bion, Ainsworth, etc. to move to Lewis County. Wed, 5/7/08 5:22 PM

With the price of gas continually going up, I'm not sure I will be able to afford any trips at all this year.

I told one of my Sons who is a trucker that what they should do is pull all their trucks off the road nation wide and keep them off two,three,four days or longer,Then see what and how long it would take Mr. Bush to move his butt and do something. They would have too,the truckers carry this nation if you think of it.If they don't move,everything stops! Wed, 5/7/08 10:40 AM

83. trading my car in for a horse Tue, 5/6/08 7:14 PM
84. It is still a shame that St. Lawrence County residents pay a disproportionately high fuel cost compared to the rest of the Upstate area. We will be among the first in the state to pay $4 bucks a gallon. And we thought our neighbors across the river were strapped with their liter prices! Watch us now! Tue, 5/6/08 7:08 PM
85. the American (not Arab) oil companies will continue to make as much money as they can while the Bush Administration is still in place. Many of this have forseen this entire exploitation of corporate profits about 8 years ago. It costs my $40 to fill up my 4 cylinder car, I don't know how the people with huge trucks around here do it, but I must definitely have the WRONG job. Tue, 5/6/08 6:11 PM
86. all the above with expeption to increasing debt load Tue, 5/6/08 6:03 PM
87. This year we will be spending our vacation money in St Lawrence County, we all forget what we have right in our backyards Tue, 5/6/08 5:53 PM
88. I thought this was a war for oil, if so, why is it so expensive! Tue, 5/6/08 5:52 PM

96. Time for an investigation into why gas in our county is SOOOOOO high! Tue, 5/6/08 12:28 PM
97. Amazing how the price shoots up faster than it ever comes down. And what is the expectation regarding the standard Memorial Day price increase for the summer driving season? Tue, 5/6/08 12:22 PM
98. I can't afford payments on some routine bills now. Spending an extra $50-$75 a week adds up and subtracts $ for other bills that I need to pay. We desperately need help! Tue, 5/6/08 11:57 AM
99. It is affecting my family by using a great deal of hard earned money by WASTING it on high priced gas. This is really rediculous! Tue, 5/6/08 11:10 AM

102. it makes it more difficult to manage income verses expenses Tue, 5/6/08 9:50 AM
103. I personally think that the government should put a price freeze on the price. Big gas companys are getting rich off the working class who need the gas for transportion to go to work. So the working class and senior citizens are the people who are hurting. Tue, 5/6/08 9:45 AM
104. Our company delivers good and services to farms. We need our costomers help as we try to avoid any extra miles traveled. Tue, 5/6/08 9:44 AM
105. It's really scary honestly. I am a professional with a really good salary, and I am finding that I need to pinch, cut corners. Recently, a serious personal relationship decision of mine included consideration of the reality that I needed to be nearer to the village, so I could save money on fuel, while still being close to my son's many activities in town. I really shudder to think how subsistence level folks are getting by right now. We are not yet sseeing the real extent of the damage of these high gas prices. I know many people who are very deparate right now, and I am worried about the North Country. Tue, 5/6/08 9:37 AM
106. It's just terrible. What is next?? Tue, 5/6/08 9:28 AM
107. It's really hard to get everything you need with such high gas prices. I go shopping once a month and get as much as possible, if I need anything else I go to the local Stewarts and pick it up.We (my bf and I) are also looking into car pooling with a friend hopefully in the next few weeks. It's easier to split gas 3 ways rather than 1 way! My credit card debt has also gone up due to purchasing items I need online instead of driving. Yea, it's hard seeing my credit card bill every month but it's better than paying hundreds a month in gas. I hope something changes soon.... Tue, 5/6/08 9:27 AM
108. THIS IS STUPID...EVEN WHEN THE COST PER BARREL GOES DONE BY $2.OO WE DON'T SEE A DECREASE AND IF WE DO IT'S ONLY 1 CENT....WHATS WRONG WITH UNITED STATES NOT TAPPING OUR OWN...... Tue, 5/6/08 9:22 AM
109. Not affecting me at all. Tue, 5/6/08 9:06 AM
110. Doing what we all should have been doing long ago, cutting back on driving. Tue, 5/6/08 8:59 AM

112. I livve within 5 miles of gas station, garage, hardware store, grocery store , drug store and 3 restraurants the price of gas is not a big problem I try to make one trip take care of all needs including bank no more going for one item Tue, 5/6/08 8:48 AM
113. It is so appaulling to me that we are being lied to with almost smiling faces and glee with major GREED stuck in there, by the oil companies. It infuriates me to the endth degree--and the stupid administration stands there and shrugs there sholders ,like we can't do a thing . The whole thing is disgusting we are being strangled people,wake up and start complaining--the liars! Tue, 5/6/08 8:41 AM
114. The high price of gasoline here is still a bargain compared to other nations. However, it does point out the stagnant wages in this country, especially after 7 years of the Bush Administration. We need to have energy security, which does not mean invading other nations to steal their oil. (Why did God put our oil under their sand, anyway?) But it is well past time to stop the windfall profits on the part of Big Oil and redirect our national attention to renewables and alternates. There are millions to be saved in this county alone from energy efficiency, weather-stripping, creating more and better opportunities for public transportation, and a serious look at regional fuel production. But we have too many politicians and not enough leaders. Tue, 5/6/08 8:40 AM
115. HEATING OIL is the real problem, not gas Tue, 5/6/08 8:02 AM
116. Raise it to $5.00 a gallon, there will be less cars on the road. Tue, 5/6/08 7:22 AM
117. no more "sunday drives" to see the sites Tue, 5/6/08 7:10 AM
118. The worst thing about the high oil prices is having to listen to the naive, uneducated bunch who seriously think it's President Bush's fault. It would be fun to live in a simpleton world like that just for one afternoon! Tue, 5/6/08 5:40 AM
119. I really don't think that the people of the North Country can take this much longer everything keeps going up except our wages. Mon, 5/5/08 11:37 PM
120. While prices are high, it will take $6+ prices for me to seriously consider doing anything drastic. Mon, 5/5/08 11:00 PM
121. The price of gas is absolutely absurd! There is no reason for this to even be happening except to make the rich richer. These rich bast***ds ought to be ashamed of themselves and what they are doing to all of us hard working, tax paying individuals. Let's get someone into office who can do something about this problem. Mon, 5/5/08 10:59 PM
122. The North Country can do much better for current costs in groceries and other ameneties. If more citizens would consolidate their driving, bike more, and insist on purchasing local products they would be less affected by the cost of gas and apparent economic downturn. Mon, 5/5/08 10:51 PM
123. after school activities Mon, 5/5/08 10:29 PM

131. Don't Drive anymore than I have to, if more people would do that the price would go down. It's the law of supply and demand. Mon, 5/5/08 7:43 PM
132. "Economic Terrorism", oil wealth is in control. Google "Lindsey Williams" Mon, 5/5/08 7:13 PM
133. can't aford to drive to work which is about 30 mile away oneway won't be able to go and do any fishing this summer Mon, 5/5/08 6:58 PM
134. I believe that the government is raping the middle class people. Not only is the gas prices affecting our driving but it is also causing the prices of groceries to go up. Everything has to be trucked in to St. Lawrence County and we end up paying for it. I don't know how people are going to afford to heat their homes this winter. It is getting really scary. Mon, 5/5/08 6:54 PM
135. I wish food stamps would adust to help more people Mon, 5/5/08 5:36 PM
