Katrina Hits Maine Where It Hurts

Earlier this summer, we received a notice that our heating gas company was offering discounts to employees where I work for the coming year. As of today via company-wide email, those discounts are being discontinued “due to the turbulent nature of the market at present.” It can be no coincidence that this comes one day after Katrina devesated the Gulf Coast, which includes many oil and gas drilling rigs. Since production has been halted for several days and damage is just beginning to be assessed, it’s evident that some of us are in for a long, cold, expensive winter here in Maine.
