1 edit | The PSC and it political agenda For a total of nine days beginning on Monday, July 17, 2006, approximately 174,000 people in Queens went without power. I can't imagine how bad that scene must have been. The PSC draft report found that the extensive Queens power outages resulted from Con Edison’s inept and grossly negligent performance and its failure to reliably operate, maintain, and manage its system, or to respond effectively to an escalating emergency. For the honor of being one of those 174,000 poor Queens residents, the PSC has a settlement, almost 2 years later. It includes a bill credit of $100 to each residential customer and issue a payment of $100 to each of the 2,850 residential claimants to whom Con Ed paid a claim for spoilage in connection with the July 2006 outage, amid language forbidding Con Ed from raising rates to pay the settlement.
Doesn't this most recent PSC outcry, including the 'Freeze on Installs' seem just a tad bit overboard, just a little too shrill? It sounds more like someones got to the PSC and I know of one family who most certainly is an interested party:
In the last decade, Cablevision and Cablevision PAC have given at least $343,929 to New York State committees and politicians. The Dolans personally have given $248,200 in state races. Anyone else thinking my way??
