Later this month, the NYS Public Service Commission is expected to vote on whether to approve a proposed rate increase by Con Edison which would go into effect in the coming year.

Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein denounced Con Edison’s request declaring that: “Perhaps Con Edison should first demonstrate that its capable of upgrading its services before we consider their proposed rate increase which hard working New Yorkers cannot afford right now”

A PDF copy of the letter Assemblyman Eichenstein sent to John B. Rhodes, Chairman of the New York State Public Service Commission is available below.
