CONGRESSMAN TOM ALLEN SPEAKS ON THE IMPACT OF RISING FUEL COSTS
The impact of rising fuel costs is a major concern of seniors in Maine and nationwide. Congressman Tom Allen shares this concern. Recently Allen said:
“I recently called for stories about how Mainers are coping with the rising cost of home heating oil, so that I could use real life anecdotes to explain to my colleagues from around the country what we in Maine will be facing this coming winter. I received hundreds of stories, nearly all of them heartbreaking. I recently shared some of these stories in a speech on the House floor, along with my plan to provide short-term relief to people struggling with high fuel costs.”
