Queens Borough President Donovan Richards is rallying against Con Edison’s proposed rate hikes, which include an 11% increase in electricity and a 13% increase in gas. Speaking at Borough Hall, he expressed concerns over the financial burden these hikes would place on struggling families amidst rising costs of living. Joined by community leaders, Richards called for a rate freeze and urged the Public Service Commission to reject the proposal, emphasizing that low-income New Yorkers should not bear the brunt of the state’s push towards renewable energy initiatives.
New Yorkers already facing an affordability crisis shouldn't be the ones to suffer as the state pursues renewable energy.
New Yorkers are fed up, everybody's living on the margins.
