Attorney General Greg Stumbo’s lawsuit against Marathon Oil for price gouging is moving forward.

Franklin Circuit Court Judge Thomas Wingate (yesterday) directed Marathon to answer questions by November 19, 2007.

According to Stumbo, “The judge is moving us closer to our day in court, when we will ask a jury to say whether Marathon’s pricing was grossly excessive as America weathered hurricanes and turmoil.”

One step closer to shafting the shafters who continually screw consumers.
