Price gouging reported in CA, NV amid wildfire evacuations

Wildfire evacuations in the Lake Tahoe area have led to price gouging. Rides to the airport were going for eight times the usual rate and hotel stays were four-times their usual rate. California law prohibits price gouging, but in Nevada, a law prohibiting the predatory practice doesn’t go into effect until October. You’re urged to report any incidents of price gouging to the attorney general’s office or Congressman Amodei’s office.
