GREGG, SUNUNU: ADMINISTRATION TO RELEASE $47.7 MILLION

 IN LOW INCOME HOME HEATING ASSISTANCE TO N.H. FOR 2009

Historic funding commitment part of $5.1 billion being released nationwide

MANCHESTER, NH – United States Senators Judd Gregg and John Sununu (R-NH) today (10/15) announced that the Administration will on Thursday release $47.7 million in Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) funds to New Hampshire for fiscal year 2009 - an historic, record-setting level of heating aid for low income seniors, individuals, and families across the state.

(Manchester, NH) - For the past eight years, John Sununu has helped George Bush run up the national debt to over $9.6 trillion, voting with Bush's budgets that expanded the deficit and voting against any oversight of contracting in Iraq, allowing no-bid contracts and rampant wasteful spending. Now that he's running for reelection, Sununu is changing his tune in an effort to cover over his record of voting 90% of the time with George Bush, and he's paying lip service to oversight on the Wall Street bailout package.
