NJ Lawmakers Consider Self-Service Gasoline, Where Do You Stand?
In today’s final hour, Dom leads off the Dom Giordano Program by welcoming back in New Jersey State Senator Declan O’Scanlon to discuss his push to allow self-service at gas stations within New Jersey.

O’Scanlon explains why he’s pushing for the change, and explains why there has been a change of opinion by New Jerseyians. Also, O’Scanlon tells Giordano how he would suggest he appropriately celebrate the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day.
