"It's outrageous and unacceptable that utility companies are proposing the largest rate increase in recent history for more than 1.2 million consumers in Upstate New York. The Department of Public Service is legally required to review all proposed rate increases, and I urge them to scrutinize every number and word of this proposal to protect New York families from unjustified and unfair rate increases. At a time when so many families are struggling because of global economic headwinds and nationwide inflation, I will keep fighting to get money back in the pockets of New Yorkers by accelerating middle class tax cuts, giving consumers a gas tax holiday that begins next week, and providing rent and utility relief to hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers."
EDITOR'S NOTE:
We see that Governor Hochul is angry that her gas and electric rates are going up where she lives in upstate New York, but we have not heard a word from her about the very high downstate cost of electricity and gas.
It looks like this is an upstate governor, with an upstate Lieutenant Governor who knows nothing about what is going on downstate, and probably doesn't care about the downstate area of New York State, just some photo ops with downstate elected officials.
