Walz signs order aimed at reducing propane delivery backlog

Governor Tim Walz has signed an executive order aimed at reducing the backlog on propane deliveries, by temporarily easing hours-of-service regulations for drivers transporting fuel in the state.  Recent winter storms have slowed propane deliveries just as sub-zero temperatures have increased demand.  Officials say there’s a backlog of more than 200-thousand homes that use propane as their primary heating source.
