New Jersey members of congress are calling for an investigation into
alleged price gouging at Newark Liberty International Airport, as well as other
airports across the tri-state area.
Congressmen Bill Pascrell, Donald Payne and Albio Sires wrote a letter
to the inspector general of the Port Authority, asking for a wider
investigation into high priced items on the menus of businesses at their
airports.
Congressman Pascrell wrote
on Twitter, "Today, my colleagues and I are calling for a broad
investigation into outrageous price gouging at Newark, JFK and LaGuardia
airports … Visitors
to our region shouldn't be bamboozled $27 for a bottle of beer."
