BLUNT WARMING UP TO REQUEST
GOVERNOR PLANS TO MEET WITH LAWMAKERS
KINDER WANTS SPECIAL POST-ELECTION SESSION TO DEAL WITH $103 MILLION DOLLARS IN HEATING ASSISTANCE
"Just this week we saw the first frost, a sure sign that winter is just around the corner and a looming reminder to some that higher heating bills will soon be added to their burden. This is one of the reasons Lt. Gov. Kinder’s call for a Special Session has gained support from a number of community groups who want to help seniors and other vulnerable citizens stay warm this winter," said Gov. Matt Blunt in a statement Wednesday.
"In response to his call, following next week’s election I will visit with House and Senate leaders to discuss the Special Session Lt. Gov. Kinder has proposed. We will carefully consider the request, the availability of funds, and the anticipated demand," Blunt added. "I have said before, and I know Lt. Gov. Kinder agrees, no one should have to choose between heating their home or paying for food or other necessities," he said.
DEMOCRATS HAVE CRITICIZED THE PROPOSED SESSION AS POLITICAL
