LePage extends emergency proclamation for weather
Gov. Paul LePage has extended an emergency declaration to prolong delivery hours for heating fuel trucks as cold temperatures have driven up demand.
The latest emergency declaration covers the period from Jan. 19 to Feb. 8 and exempts delivery trucks from U.S. Department of Transportation restrictions on driving hours. LePage said in a press release that cold weather and national fuel storage and supply issues have put a strain on fuel deliveries to homes and businesses in the state.
