Dana Nessel, Michigan’s Attorney General, along with Consumers Energy are kicking off a campaign to make sure Michigan residents are able to access tens of millions of dollars in federal, state and local dollars in an effort to help Michigan homes and businesses pay winter heating bills.
“No one should go without warmth or comfort in their own home when they can have access to so many dollars here in Michigan, starting with a single phone call,” Nessel said. “We know February’s brutal cold is leaving our friends and neighbors with high energy bills, but they should know they can take action now that can make a huge difference.”
