Republican Rep. Mike Lawler criticized Governor Kathy Hochul for opposing Con Edison’s substantial rate hikes, attributing the problem to her green energy policies. Lawler called Hochul’s plea to reject the rates a political gimmick, arguing that her clean energy mandates are driving prices up. He pointed out how the proposed increases would significantly impact New Yorkers' bills, while claiming that the policies aimed at reducing fossil fuel use are backfiring. The ongoing debate reflects broader concerns about the balance between environmental goals and economic realities for residents.
Governor Hochul's crocodile tears over Con Edison's proposed rate hikes, when her absurd clean energy mandates are forcing energy costs higher and higher, are fake and political.
Con Edison is asking the state Public Service Commission for the increases for its 3.6 million customers that would jack up electric bills by 11.4% and send gas bills soaring 13.3% next year.
