I’ve had it up to here waiting for fuel assistance every year.

Do you realize how cold it gets on November nights? This used to be one of the state’s best benefits, but now with all the border busters coming into our area, it isn’t.

For a governor to come to Greenfield and give $6.2 million to an old store for housing is insane.

I have a wife at home who’s been sick for three years and the costs we have for prescriptions isn’t what we asked for.

Every year it seems like this program seems to think heating season starts in January. This money for the store came at a time when our governor was campaigning for Kamala Harris. Another reason why I’m ticked off is that Wilson’s was one of the group who stopped Walmart from coming to Greenfield.

I remember plowing snow and the state would pay us in June.

It’s about time fuel assistance gets money sooner. The new demand is if you have an eighth of a tank of oil you can call for oil. You’re asking for a lot of frozen pipes. I don’t call this good management.
