Helping Low Income Missourians Cover Heating Costs
January 9, 2007 - Gov. Matt Blunt announces his plan to provide $6.3 million to fully fund Utilicare, the state’s program to help vulnerable Missourians with their winter utility costs. Lt. Governor Peter Kinder, President Pro Tem Michael R. Gibbons, House Speaker Rod Jetton, State Sen. Chuck Gross and State Rep. Allen Icet joined in supporting the governor’s call to fund Utilicare.
“No Missourian should have to choose between heating their home and the necessities of life such as food and prescription medicine. When I became Governor, Utilicare had not been funded since 2001. We changed that when my administration was the first to fully fund Utilicare. The plan we are announcing today would fully fund this energy assistance for those who need it the most for the second year in a row. The leaders joining me today believe as I do in the need to help low-income families with rising energy costs.”
