Susan Collins: “Thank you. Those sound like very worthwhile and protective moves on the Commission's part.”

It’s a critical program and the foundation of retirement income for most Mainers, and I’ve voted repeatedly to preserve it.

I believe that we should create a commission of independent financial experts to give us advice on what should be done.

I am pleased that these funds are being released to help Mainers afford to heat their homes this winter without having to choose between staying warm and paying for other basic necessities.

You owe me an apology.
