KRIS-TV 6 reports that on Monday, the county commissioner's court voted 4-1 to pass a resolution that urged folks to stop buying gasoline from Exxon-Mobil on May 1, and not to buy it again, until the price drops to a $1.309County Judge Jimmy Martinez said the boycott has to work. He believes if people don't buy Exxon gas, then Exxon is forced to lower its price and the other companies are forced to follow. But others believe it's just not that simple.
Bee County has three Exxon stations - all owned by the same local company. That company told 6 News the only impact an Exxon boycott would have would be on their profits from the sale of food and merchandise, which makes up for about a third of their sales.
