The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services has received $44 million in federal energy assistance to help low-income families heat their homes this winter.

That compares to $26 million available last year. The money helps with heating bills, also weatherproofing homes and for crisis assistance.

Wow, S.Jean, you are absolutely right. It makes perfect sense to give everybody a discount of a few dollars a month on their gas bill rather than to help out a family in need. It's not our problem if they freeze, or resort to space heaters and burn their houses down. As long as our bills are a little lower we'll be okay.

This $18 million should just be signed over to MUD and they should give everybody a break. Why shouldn't everyone's bills be lowered?
