Augusta, ME – Misha Linnehan, spokesperson for the Maine Democratic Party, released the following statement in response to an announcement that the federal government will release heating oil reserves:
“Susan Collins voted five times to continue President Trump’s war, which has sent home heating oil prices skyrocketing.
