Westchester families and small businesses cannot keep footing the bill for rising utility costs. Yesterday, I stood alongside the Westchester County Board of Legislators and leaders from across New York State to strongly urge the Public Service Commission to reject Con Edison’s proposed rate hikes.

I was proud to stand with fellow elected officials in strong opposition to the recent joint proposal submitted by Con Edison in its rate cases. While the revised plan reflects some progress, it still falls short of what Westchester residents deserve.

We are in the final hour. Polls close in less than 60 minutes, but if you’re in line when they close, stay in line — your vote will be counted. Every election comes down to the people who show up, and Westchester’s future depends on all of us making our voices heard.

If you’re outraged about Trump and his complete upheaval of our country, you must vote today! Until 9pm. Westchester isn’t incidental, it’s a firewall. VOTE across Row A & vote yes on the proposition. Tell your NJ, VA, PA and CA friends to vote!
