Dear Editor,

I am fed up with the high gas prices in Merritt. The price at Costco in Kamloops was $1.03 per litre and here in Merritt it was $1.18 per litre — 15 cents a litre more at 7-Eleven.

No wonder a lot of people I know shop in Kamloops instead of Merritt. Why doesn’t someone in authority do something about this? Maybe the new mayor and city council can do something. We will see.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone.
