The mayor of New Lenox is asking residents to boycott local gas stations because prices are too high.
Tim Baldermann said gas prices in his village average about $3.50, higher than surrounding suburbsJoliet, Orland Park, and Homer Glen, according to a CBS Chicago report.
"We have to do something. The residents have got to send a message. It's a free market, and we respect that it's a free market, but that doesn't mean that I want our residents being taken advantage of, just because of our location," he said.
The CBS Chicago reports says it's the second time the mayor has urged residents to boycott. He made the same plea last year.
