Electricity aid program expands to cover thousands more Mainers

The Department of Health and Human Services is sending letters to 67,000 Maine residents who are eligible for the Low Income Assistance Program. That's 46,000 more people this season, thanks to additional funding and expanded eligibility guidelines.
Public Advocate Bill Harwood says those who do get a letter should present it to their electric utility.
