Gas Service Policy prompts recheck on winter reconnects
Richard Jackson of East Central Kansas Economic Opportunity Corporation says a new policy will hinder gas service reconnections before cold weather. Funds from Low-Income Energy Assistance won't arrive until December, delaying aid until January or February. He notes unpaid bills accumulate, and urges action from lawmakers to halt gas price increases and boost LIEAP funding. Local petitions gather about 550 signatures, calling for a price freeze and faster relief, while discussions include potential level payment plans and temporary housing for those cut off.
