Minnesota Competing With Hawaii

First, we have Hawaii, with their crazy plans to keep gasoline cheap.  Now we have Minnesota with a competing idea.  Seems a gas station chain has been fined $140,000 for selling their gas too low.  No, that's not a typo.

I'm sure both states had good intentions in their price control legislation.  I actually understand Minnesota's intentions better than Hawaii's - keep big guys from underselling the little guys.  Regardless, it's still price controls, and they rarely allow the consumer to come out ahead.
