AP-NH-XGR--Fuel Assistance Lynch signs bill boosting funding for fuel assistance programs nmlklmavbstfls xxx Lynch signs fuel assistance bill xxx CONCORD, N.H. - It didn't take long for the House and Senate to approve a bill today that helps New Hampshire's poor pay their winter fuel bills -- and right after they did, Governor John Lynch signed it. Lynch was surrounded by legislators from both parties signaling the bipartisan effort that went into ensuring the poorest families have heat this winter. The bill sets aside ten million dollars from the state's surplus to pay for fuel assistance if federal aid doesn't cover the costs. It also borrows money from an energy efficiency program for six months to help the poor pay electric bills. Lawmakers said they know the help is a short-term fix to a long-term problem. They said they hope a study contained in the bill will help them better address the problem in the future. AP-NY-11-16-05 1527EST Article published Nov 16, 2005 Lawmakers move on fuel assistance By Kevin Landrigan Telegraph Staff CONCORD – Looking to help more poor people pay their electric bills this winter, House and Senate leaders announced bipartisan support Tuesday for a plan to divert money from energy efficiency projects. Today the Legislature is expected to endorse the electricity aid, while it also gives a $10 million boost to a federal program for home heating aid for low- and moderate-income families. The heating aid would come from the state’s estimated $50 million budget surplus. An existing monthly fee on electric bills generates $34 million a year, financing aid for low-income and energy efficiency programs. Money from the energy efficiency program will be diverted to help the poor for only the next six months. Only about one-fifth of the money would be diverted. “We aren’t shutting down any energy efficiency program,” said Senate President Ted Gatsas, R-Manchester. Gatsas said that Public Service of New Hampshire, the state’s largest utility, has agreed to borrow about $3.5 million to support the low-income assistance. PSNH would have three years to pay back that money, Gatsas said. Bowing to criticism, key senators agreed to make changes that reduce the impact on two of the state’s four utilities, and to lessen the blow to a popular energy-efficiency program.Gatsas agreed to alter his plan after learning that the two utilities – Granite State Electric and Unitil – were already subsidizing aid to low-income customers of PSNH and the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative. “We have two donor utilities participating already with a portion of their low-income citizens,’’ Gatsas said. The bill caps at $3 million how much can be taken from the energy efficiency program and would trigger a legislative review of spending once 30,000 people received assistance paying their bills. Senate Majority Leader Robert Clegg, R-Hudson, said lawmakers should study where the energy efficiency money is going, because large, profit-making corporations have received large grants from it. “The corporations with big bucks who know how to play the system ought to step aside for six months so we can get money for the low-income citizens,’’ Clegg said. The state expects to need at least $30 million in fuel assistance this winter, and Congress has promised only $15 million in grants to date. “We can’t let our citizens freeze in the winter months,’’ said House Majority Leader Michael O’Neil, R-Hampton. The state’s congressional delegation is working on a federal spending bill that would give New Hampshire another $7 million. It’s not clear how long it will take Congress to act. Low-income citizens have some protection from having their electricity or natural gas shut off, but oil and propane companies can refuse to deliver if they’re not paid. Several critics of the original bill said they could live with the compromise, and predicted lawmakers would endorse it today. “We’ve got a deal and appreciate all the cooperation we’ve gotten from the Senate leadership on this,’’ said Sen. Peter Burling, D-Cornish. |
