GOP Governor Warns Obama Cutting Federal Heating Assistance Will Leave 600K Michigan Families Out In The Cold
Governor Rick Snyder, together with state utility companies and social service agencies, is warning that federal heating assistance cuts proposed by the Obama administration would have disastrous effects across Michigan.
Congress is now considering President Barack Obama’s proposal to cut funding for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) by 50 percent.
The block grant program is a major part of the safety net in Michigan and the proposed cut would leave the state with $120 million less to help subsidize heating costs for 1.2 million low income households.

The same guy that uses his cronies to kick out cities' elected officials and take over city operations, like sell them to developers.
