It’s disappointing that the plan to distribute checks to assist Mainers with heating prices has failed. It could have been most welcome reduction for a few of the skyrocketing price of gasoline this winter.
For the reason that Legislature must return to the drafting board, I want to ask {that a} bigger portion be put aside for individuals who haven’t any properties to warmth.
We could have a price range surplus, however sadly we now have a surplus of unhoused Mainers, too. Seeing information reviews of the belongings and tents of homeless folks being scooped up by front-end loaders and put into dump vehicles in Portland was heartbreaking. Extra shelters are wanted. Allow us to all share the excess.
