Proposals aim to ease winter burden on low income
State Rep. Robert Taft II outlined bills to curb winter costs for low income residents. HB 450 would let welfare fund heating fuel by using unused Title XX money, while HB 18 and HB 340 seek 25 percent and 5 to 25 percent discounts on utility bills respectively. Senate Bill 70 would require pre-shutoff visits by utility reps and welfare review before shutoffs. The plans also include welfare budget debates and potential changes to Title XX allocations and lottery funds.
