Why it matters
The funding addresses sharply rising fuel costs, as residential heating oil prices have increased by about 76% since last fall, and kerosene prices have risen by 61%. The aid is designed to help financially qualifying households avoid heating emergencies this winter.
Peter Shumlin is currently governing the state of Vermont and driving economic initiatives, including serving on the state AI Economic Task Force.
