Susan Collins: “MAP-21 is only a 2-year bill instead of the traditional 6-year bill, because we were unable to find further funding.”

That is absolutely outrageous, and you owe me an apology.

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

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

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.
