The truth comes out at last! Of course, the crAP pulled those 2 paragraphs from the linked story.
Maybe if gubmint weren't taking so damned much in taxes and redistributing the existing money into their own pockets, everybody could afford heat (and yes, it HAS been a mild winter, SnoweJob).
To be fair, it was the Local News Leader which did the edit of the AP story for its own use. The Washington Post has the entire story as it appears above. But, due to FR's copyright stuff, the WP could not be cited as the linked source.
