URGENT: Call your senators:

Tell them raiding efficiency funds
is unacceptable

You may have seen the news that the Vermont Senate is scrambling to plug a hole in the budget – and we’ve learned there are plans to raid funding for heating efficiency to do that.

A vote on these cuts is expected on the Senate floor FRIDAY.

Please, take one minute to call your senators and tell them you oppose using efficiency funds to close the budget gap.

Leave a message for your senators with the Sergeant-at-Arms: 802-828-2228 or 800-322-5616

Heating efficiency programs are essential for helping Vermonters reduce their energy usage and save on home heating bills. Supporters like you have fought hard for these programs. This last-minute maneuver to raid these funds is unacceptable and your senators need to hear that before Friday’s vote.

Call 802-828-2228 or 800-322-5616 and tell your senators to leave efficiency funding alone.

When you call, you’ll need to leave your name, address and phone number.

This vote is happening Friday, so please make your call as soon as possible. Thank so much for your help!
