State Senate Democratic Leader Donald Williams says the burgeoning surplus should be set aside in a winter aid account to help Connecticut families cope with high fuel costs. The legislature is slated to meet August 22nd, and Williams says lawmakers should convene and--act. Williams says now is the right time to get the job done ahead of the election cycle which could create time conflicts. Some of the proposals to be considered include fuel aid for low and moderate income families, and heating assistance for schools and non-profit groups.
