Mayor Proclaims Weatherization Day Click now to send relief. A chill in the night air. Frost on car windows in the morning. There s no doubt about it.
Winter is near.
Heaters are being turned on in homes across Oswego County and families are starting to think about the impact of higher energy prices on their monthly budgets. According to recent data by the Energy Information Administration, natural gas prices are forecast to rise nationally by 27 percent and fuel oil by 30 percent this year, compared with last year. Locally, natural gas and fuel oil prices could triple in cost from last year. Combined with colder winter temperatures this year, many families will see their energy bills rise dramatically. This will impact all the families in our community, but the hardest hit will be our low income families.
