Hillary Clinton in Bloomfield
This past Friday, Senator Hillary Clinton spoke at Curran’s Gulf gas station about her plans to curb the rising cost of fuel. The gas station at the base of the Bloomfield Bridge was chosen as Sen. Clinton’s first Pittsburgh campaign stop because it is one of the few remaining independent stations in the area.
Sen. Clinton introduced station owner Jay Curran, who spoke about the hardships of competing with big oil companies while gasoline prices are at an all-time high. Clinton also introduced Janice Hodge, a local massage therapist who travels by car for work. Janice spoke about the economic cutbacks her family has been forced to make due to the high cost of gas.
