Escaping the heat

To the editor: This is a letter in response to Sandra M. Rothenberger. Dear Sandra, I understand your situation. But your vitriol and sarcasm shouldn’t be limited to the Federal Government. I’ve lived in a 100-year old farm house for a little over three years now. My winters are far from comfortable as the heat tends to escape my humble abode before it can warm anything. I can’t afford to live in my own home town, so this is my stepping stone to someplace more affordable. You should blame your new neighbors who’ve continuously driven up the cost of living in Warwick to the point that ordinary folks like you or I cannot afford to live there as comfortably as we would like. Don’t forget the environmentalist movement whose infinite funding prohibits further domestic energy production and forces everything to cost more. Blame the 25 RINO (Republicans In Name Only) who tanked our recent attempt at a logical energy policy which would have allowed more domestic energy production. Blame the State and Local Governments which tax our energy out of reach. There are plenty of people to blame for the current energy situation, some elected, some not, but you’re right. All their thermostats are likely set a few notches higher than ours. Samuel J. Stanaitis Pine Island
