State Senator Pamela Helming and other Republican legislators have sent a letter to Governor Kathy Hochul and Public Service Commission Chair Rory M. Christian voicing their opposition to the proposed rate hikes by New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG). The letter outlines concerns about the impact of increased utility rates on residents and businesses.

The legislators argue that higher energy costs would place an additional burden on families and small businesses already facing economic challenges. They call on state leaders to reconsider the proposal and seek alternatives that do not increase costs for consumers.

The full text of the letter was made available with the announcement.
