Shaheen touts funding for energy projects

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Sen. Jeanne Shaheen is visiting New Hampshire homeowners and construction workers who have benefited from federal funding for energy efficiency projects.

Shaheen, who serves on the Senate Energy Committee, has pushed for increased stimulus funding for weatherization projects and for heating assistance for low-income families.

She will discuss those programs Monday at the home of a Concord couple who are weatherizing their home.
