As reports of spiking energy bills from Con Edison continue to come in throughout New York, a group of state lawmakers are renewing their push for the creation of a new, statewide Office of the Utility Consumer Advocate.
A letter to Gov. Kathy Hochul asking to work together on strengthening New York state’s ability to directly advocate for consumers, was sent by Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz, a Riverdale Democrat, and state Sen. Diane Savino, a Staten Island Democrat, who are the two main sponsors of legislation to create such an office.
