Last Year’s Mild Winter Hurting Those Who Receive Heating Assistance
Last year was a mild winter, this winter has been colder and has seen much more snow. That means we are spending more to keep the house warm. Families in Maine that rely on heating assistance are receiving less assistance than last year, due in part to, the mild winter we had last year.  That is causing a problem.

It's that time of the year.  Well, I guess in Maine it is always that time of the year to think about heating our homes in the winter months.  No matter how we do it, we all HAVE to do something. The state of Maine has a new website with calculators to help estimate heating cost, as well as information on other issues surrounding the whole subject of heating our homes.

I know, I know, it is still summer! But get this heating oil prices have gone UP this summer.  Imagine my surprise.   I know I really don't want to think about snow, cold and oil bills. But it's Maine. Cold weather is never too far away.  The Governor's Office of Energy Independence put out its summer report yesterday.   What do you do to deal with oil use and prices?
