Kingston, N.Y. (AP) - Sen. Charles Schumer wants the Federal Trade Commission to investigate possible collusion and price gouging in the road salt market.

Shortly before noon Monday, Schumer will be at Kingston's salt storage facility to talk about the issue. He says towns and counties throughout New York State have had to set aside larger portions of their budgets for road salting and snow removal in response to record snowfall and skyrocketing prices.
