Parton appears on CBS 2
Lee Parton, associate professor of economics, appeared on CBS2 on Sept. 22. The story titled “Diesel prices are rising, Here’s why you could pay more even if you don’t use it,” covered how higher fuel costs can move through Idaho’s economy, particularly through transportation and agriculture. CBS 2 also aired a video segment on their newscast, which was posted on the news site’s social media pages.
Parton shares that although Idahoans who don’t drive diesel vehicles may not be feeling the impacts of higher diesel prices now, they may see price increases on everyday expenses over time.
