Fort Morgan Times: By State Senator Jerry Sonnenberg and State Representative Richard Holtorf
For many families, the impact of inflation and the increased cost of living has hit hard. What was once affordable and within reach for families is no longer. Their budgets can no longer cover their increased costs and they worry about how they will keep paying their bills if inflation continues like it did last year.
Constituents, across our districts, have expressed to us the real challenges that they face when paying for the increased cost of gas at the pump to travel the long distances that many have to in the rural parts of the state. They worry about paying to heat their home during the cold winter and put food on their table. Some even express that they are no longer able to afford a meal at McDonald’s, a place that was once considered to be a more affordable spot to take our children or grandkids.
