I SAID NO TO CON ED’S PROPOSED RATE HIKE AT TODAY’S HEARING!
I spoke today at the Public Service Commission hearing held at the Westchester County Center on behalf of my constituents in the 6th District. I made it emphatically clear: Yonkers cannot afford another rate hike.
As many of you know, I share the deep concerns of residents regarding Con Edison’s proposed rate increases, which are currently under review by the New York State Public Service Commission. If approved, these hikes would take effect in 2026—raising electric delivery rates by 11.4% and gas delivery rates by 13.3%. These increases would impose an even greater financial burden on working families and especially on seniors living on fixed incomes.
We are in the midst of an affordability crisis in New York, with skyrocketing property taxes and a rising cost of living. These utility rate hikes are driving more and more residents out of the state. Enough is enough.
