Habitat for Humanity of New Castle County has initiated a statewide effort to provide new, energy-efficient refrigerators to low-income Delmarva customers in Delaware.
Working in collaboration with affiliates in Sussex County and Central Delaware, Habitat is piloting a statewide refrigerator replacement program conducted through all three ReStores. The ReStore Refrigerator Replacement Program is made possible through a $500,000 Energize Delaware Empowerment Grant.
Statewide, Habitat expects to provide 450 low-income Delmarva customers with an Energy Star-certified refrigerator during the course of the program. About one in seven Delaware families is cost-burdened when it comes to paying for utilities. By providing applicants with an energy-efficient refrigerator, this collaboration will help reduce energy bills and improve quality of life.
When the State finally released its autopsy findings, officials outrageously contended that Anton’s bipolar disorder was a contributing cause of death, as opposed to the law enforcement officers’ brutal actions in chasing, tasing, and pinning Anton down under hundreds of pounds of weight for six minutes until he lost consciousness and stopped breathing, the lawsuit states.
The complaint alleges law enforcement improperly influenced the medical examiner.
The lawsuit points to a supplemental Maryland State Police report which included discussion with the medical examiner that Black s neck looked good as proof they wished to rule out evidence of physical violence and asphyxiation by police.
