In the interest of getting Connecticut back to work and assist businesses in being able to grow, I along with the House Republican Caucus have proposed several job creation and business development initiatives when the legislature goes into Special Session on October 26th for what Governor Malloy has called the Jobs Session.

State Representative Laura Hoydick (R-120), Ranking Member of the legislature’s Energy Committee, expressed relief this week that the committee had chosen to restore funding to the state’s Low Income Home Energy Assistance Plan (LIHEAP) in joint action with the Energy and Human Services Committees.
The restoration was unanimous and bi-partisan, as the legislative panels changed Governor Malloy’s recommendations on the distribution of a federal block grant for the program.
“The original plan from Governor Malloy was to assist only those who used he home heating oil or propane to heat their homes,” said Rep. Hoydick. “If you do that you turn away the roughly 80,000 families that were eligible last year just because of the source of the heating fuel they use. Luckily, the legislature unanimously supported this change which will allow people to apply without regard to the source they use to heat their homes over the winter.” Read More→
State Representative Jason Perillo (R-113), a member of the legislature’s budget-writing Appropriations Committee, expressed relief this week that the committee had chosen to restore funding to the state’s Low Income Home Energy Assistance Plan (LIHEAP) in joint action with the Energy and Human Services Committees.
The restoration was unanimous and bi-partisan, as the legislative panels changed Governor Malloy’s recommendations on the distribution of a federal block grant for the program.
“Governor Malloy proposed providing heating assistance only to those eligible state residents who use home heating oil or propane to heat their homes,” said Rep. Perillo. “Unfortunately, that excludes roughly 80,000 families that were able to receive the assistance when we provided it last winter just because they use natural gas, electricity or some other means of heat generation. We felt it was far too risky to leave so many families literally out in the cold this winter. Thankfully, support for this was unified, across party-lines and unanimous.” Read More→
State Representative Larry Miller (R-122), a member of the legislature’s Energy Committee, expressed relief this week that the committee had chosen to restore funding to the state’s Low Income Home Energy Assistance Plan (LIHEAP) in joint action with the Energy and Human Services Committees.
The restoration was unanimous and bi-partisan, as the legislative panels changed Governor Malloy’s recommendations on the distribution of a federal block grant for the program.
Governor Malloy proposed providing heating assistance only to those eligible state residents who use home heating oil or propane to heat their homes which would exclude roughly 80,000 families that were able to receive the assistance last winter.
“This was the right thing to do,” said Rep. Miller. “You can’t tell two families who have the same struggles that you’re only helping one of them because the other uses electric heat. I would urge families who may need assistance this year to apply early to be certain they get assistance.” Read More→
