KENTUCKY....
U.S. Representative John Yarmuth, one of six signees, has sent a letter to President Barack Obama, urging him to release additional funds for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. Community Action Partnerships took applications from hundreds of people all week. The money distributed this past week was left over from the winter program, and released throughout the state by Governor Steve Beshear because of the recent heat wave. The letter states that, less burdened by energy bills, low-income families have more to spend on essentials, and can avoid the choice between paying energy bills and putting food on their tables.
