Companies like Fortis treat our energy system like it’s their piggy bank. Their subsidiaries like Central Hudson charge high rates and do little to prioritize our needs. It's time to take our power back and replace Central Hudson with a publicly-owned utility that charges low rates and invests in a resilient grid to provide energy as a public good. We can do this by passing our state bill, the Hudson Valley Power Authority Act (A2127 Shrestha/S2026 Hinchey).
With public ownership, we’ll take the energy system out of the greedy hands of corporate boardrooms, and put it in the hands of experts and the people who rely on it.
The event will take place at Olive Free Library, 4033 NY-28A, West Shokan, NY 12494. Doors open at 5:30 PM, and the presentation on our bill will begin at 6:00 PM, followed by an opportunity to ask Assemblymember Shrestha questions. Looking forward to seeing you there!
