Gillibrand calls on Trump Administration to release LIHEAP funding in approved CR...
U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is demanding that the Trump Adminstration release funding for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program... otherwise known as "LIHEAP."  The New York Democrat announced Thursday that she had written a letter to both the president and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.  Gillibrand says home heating oil is following spikes in oil and gasoline... and, adds the money was already approved in the most recent continuing resolution.  She says there's an estimate $360-million for New Yorkers.  However... Gillibrand says it needs to be released to be available so applications can be received... and, the funds distributed.  She says New Yorkers -- "are already feeling the pain of President Trump’s economy at the grocery store, the gas pump, and the pharmacy.  Now, as temperatures begin to drop, they’re getting hit again: this time at the thermostat."  Gillibrand also made one other request in the letter... and that was to bring a quick end to the war in Iran that has contributed to higher costs.  She says the war, and it's disruptions... just recently pushed crude oil above $100 per barrel.  That's driven the average cost of heating oil in New York to $6.14 per gallon -- a 66% increase over last year.

Gies talks 100 town halls, AI, data centers, and more during Glenora Radio election preview...
The Democrat challenger in this Fall's election for the 23rd Congressional District is continuing to host in person, town hall meetings leading up to election day.  Olean's Aaron Gies says he's now completed about three-dozen of those sessions across the district... and, hopes to have hosted 100 by Nov. 3.  He says he's doing it to draw a contrast with his opponent... incumbant Republican Nick Langworthy.  During his two terms, Langworthy has hosted monthly telephone town halls.  However... Gies adds it's also important to meet people directly, and hear what they have to say.  He says Social Media will only get you so many people.  Gies says affordability remains the biggest issue he's heard about on the campaign trail.  He says he got a lot of his values from his parents while growing up in a working class family in High Point, NC.  Gies says the key one was treat people the way you want to be treated.  Gies kicked off his 100 town halls at the Prendergast Library in Jamestown earlier this Summer.  He made his comments for this coming weekend's "Community Spotlight" program on the six Glenora Radio Network stations.
