Senator Michael Morrissey was able to
provide some insight on an important piece
of proposed state legislation last week at
MOC's Annual Meeting on October 9th.
Morrissey, along with other state officials,
has
been working with MOC president, Michael
Ferrante on a bill that would help upgrade
older, inefficient oilheat systems.
"We will be working with retail suppliers to
help establish this program," Morrissey said.
He also said the assessment to dealers at
the wholesale level will be no more than a
half cent per gallon. Morrissey did not receive
much opposition from dealers in attendance.
Many dealers agreed that this could be an
important step to securing vulnerable
customers that may have been on the verge
of switching fuels. Morrissey said that at
least 30 percent of the funds will be
designated for low-income residents, but
essentially anyone will be eligible to apply.
MOC will keep members posted as this bill
moves forward.

MOC will host the final two regional meetings
for 2007 this week. Wednesday October
17th lunch will be at the Natick Hampton Inn
and Thursday October 18th it will be at the
Seekonk Johnson & Wales Inn. There is still
plenty of space available if you wish to
attend, please call or fax the Council.
The staff at MOC plans to start scheduling
similar meetings for the spring of 2008.

The MOC booth received heavy foot traffic at
The Massachusetts Association of Realtors
(MAR) Conference in Providence last week.
MOC was able to reach out to Real Estate
agents who traveled from all across
Massachusetts and promote the Oilheat-
Realty Partnership program. MOC will be
hosting two more breakfast events for
agents and dealers this week; both are prior
to the Regional meetings.
