Tomorrow, January 16th is cloture date for submitting bills. I have been working hard to put in my bill ideas. I have six bill ideas going in. When I receive my bill jackets and they become public knowledge, I will outline them here. If a bill idea interests or concerns you, please contact me and even attend a public hearing in Augusta if you like.

I have had a few calls within the past few weeks about the LIHEAP program. People are concerned because they are applying and not hearing from Community Concepts about whether or not they are accepted and for how much. This is a huge problem! If people receive their oil in March, it will not help them through the coldest months of the year. I am concerned and I am making calls to try and see how the program can be more successful next year.  

If you are in dire need of oil, contact your local town office to see if you qualify for General Assistance. The next few days are going to be some of the coldest we have seen in years. Also, if you live in Sabattus, the town office is a warming shelter. You can find phone numbers for the Greene and Sabattus town office’s on the Resources/Links page on this website.
