Midwest Governors Send Obama Letter on Propane Shortage

Governor Rick Snyder and governors from six other Midwestern states have sent the president a letter formally asking for assistance in dealing with a propane supply shortage that is affecting the states’ residents. The letter asks the Obama administration to explore regulatory waivers aimed at increasing the supply of propane in Midwest states. The governors requested an extension of the hours of service waiver and for a temporary waiver of weight limits on the interstate highway system, to help fill critical gaps between propane supply and demand. Snyder says his administration has worked closely with the propane and rail freight industries to improve supply levels.
