To the editor:

I certainly realize it is July and the last thing on your mind is heating your home or apartment this winter. However, it is not too soon to begin the application process for Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

And once again, the responsible Middle-Class Citizen gets completely overlooked as we look toward paying over $6/gallon for heating oil this winter.

Most retired couples make slightly over the 2 family threshold so I guess they get to pay full freight.

Something is wrong with this relief matrix. Where do they think a retired couple on a fixed income is going to get the extra cash for these huge inflationary hikes.
