Dear Neighbors,
Cold weather is part of the DNA of Minnesota, but unfortunately for many in our community, winter can pose difficulties when energy bills start piling up. No family should be left out in the cold, and help is available to make sure this doesn’t happen.
For those Minnesotans under certain income levels, help may be available toward the payment of energy bills, utility disconnections or fuel deliveries, and advocacy with power companies and human service providers. For more information, including eligibility and how to apply, please visit the Minnesota Department of Commerce’s website here.
A Plan for Robo Calls
Robo-calls are disruptive and cause people to not want to pick up the phone when it rings. And in fact, Minnesotans on average have received 58 robo-calls so far this year. My colleagues introduced a plan to crack down on the calls to protect Minnesotans from the predatory scams, and I look forward to supporting the bill during the 2020 legislative session. You can read more about the plan from MPR here or watch the WCCO clip here.
Climate Change and Clean Energy Forum
A huge thank you to everyone that has come out to have their voice heard at all the various events I hosted in St. Cloud this fall. I’ve had some great conversations with members of our community, and I’m confident in our ability to take on the issues facing St. Cloud next session. We have another event coming up next week, and it’s another important one.
