Ashvegas reader: Asheville and WNC, bombard Raleigh with calls and letters about gas crunch

Here’s what loyal reader Max suggests:

“Had to sneak into South Carolina today in search of gasoline. Happened upon a service station near Greer. Guy in front of me was from Asheville and commented that his friend had placed a call to the NC governor’s office. Ask if the governor was taking any action to aid WNC in its gas crisis? Voice on the other end responded ” that is not a concern of the governor’s office, it is a commercial problem.” Pass this along, please. I believe we in the WNC need to bombard the governor’s office with phone calls, emails, and faxes to the point that the system locks up.

“To everyone in WNC, be nice to your neighbor during this shortage. It looks like we will have to look out for ourselves, and Let’s show Raleigh that you don’t piss off the folks in the west.”
