Re: “Plan to provide heating assistance and relief checks fails in Maine Senate” (Dec. 7):

Three members of the Maine Senate just killed a modest heating assistance package that would have benefited all but the most wealthy of the state’s most wealthy.

Three people. Let that sink in, and if you’re not furious, I congratulate you on your financial success in becoming the top .01 percent, ruining life for the other million-plus of us.
