President Reagan will deliver the State of the Union proposing no major tax hikes while shifting most federal social programs to state administration. He seeks a five year “new federalism” plan saving about 63 billion dollars, excluding Social Security, with states handling welfare Medicare and food stamps at no less than 80 percent of current federal funding.

Heating bills spike as cold drives up energy costs
A survey of residents across Columbia Gas and Ohio Edison markets shows rising monthly bills, with examples like a three bedroom home at 130 dollars for electricity in December and 85 dollars for heating. Some households report all electric setups reaching up to 200 dollars a month, while others with gas heat and wood stoves keep bills lower. Residents note energy efficiency ads and unemployment add to the strain as they try to stay warm.
