Citgo Suspends Free Heating Oil Program for Low-Income Residents

(excerpt)

BOSTON —  Citgo has suspended its free heating oil program for low-income residents, Citizens Energy Chairman Joseph Kennedy announced Monday.

Kennedy said the Venezuelan government's Texas-based oil subsidiary cited falling oil prices and the world economic crisis for forcing the company to reevaluate all of its social programs, including the heating oil program aimed at 400,000 households in 16 states.

The program, started in 2005 with Citizens Energy, a nonprofit headed by Kennedy, sent 100 gallons of free oil a year to eligible households.

"It remains unclear how long this postponement, if it is one, will last," Kennedy said in a statement on the Citizens Energy Web site. "All of us at Citizens Energy continue to do everything we can to advocate for a continuation of this vital assistance."

Kennedy urged those who have been helped by the program to write Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to share their stories.

 :rotf:  That's funny.


He wants to get one of his socialist buddies in South AMerica to provide us with free heating oil...yet when clean energy folks on Martha's Vinyard try to set up some windmills....there's Joe and the rest of the Kennedy's filing motions to stop it because they would spoil their view.

He's one of those "for thee and not for me" kind of Liberals.
