State Rep.Cullie Tarleton (D-93) announced he had written
to N.C. Gov. Michael Easley to ask for his help in easing the
kerosene shortage in North Carolina and especially in the High
Country.
“The shortage of kerosene has driven the price in some cases
will beyond $4 a gallon which has created a financial hardship
for many families who still heat their home with kerosene,”
Tarleton said.
“North Carolina is one of the top three kerosene consuming
states in the nation and many of those consumers live in western
North Carolina. We’ve got to increase the supply of kerosene
which should help drive down the price to a more affordable level.
I’ve asked the governor to use the influence of his office
to get additional supplies of kerosene to our state and especially
into my district.”
