The U.S. senators from the Dakotas are among the bipartisan
group of senators who have sent a letter to President Barack
Obama urging him to provide additional relief to people affected
by the nationwide propane shortage and its price surge.
The letter was sent to the White House on Friday. The senators
say the shortage threatens the safety of families and the
financial stability of farms and businesses.
Propane is a crucial heating source in several states including
the Dakotas. The propane drain has coincided with extreme cold
temperatures this year.
The propane crisis has been such, that authorities on the
Standing Rock Indian Reservation in the Dakotas are
investigating whether a woman found dead on Tuesday in a mobile
home with an empty propane tank died from the cold.
