1/3 I'm as outraged as my constituents are by the surge energy pricing we've seen in recent weeks. $2,600 a month to keep a small home warm? $1,400 to power a small 2-bedroom apartment?! That's offensive and totally unsustainable. https://t.co/w8Edbr4QKy

Or...it's like finally eradicating a disease from your state. Last coal power plant in New York is closing: https://t.co/iTYA0DD8FE
2/3 That's why I'm announcing that, as Chairman of the Senate's investigations committee, I am opening a formal investigation into the outrageous surge pricing we've seen from utility companies and power producers in addition to erroneous billing practices.
This project would be a major boon to our local economy and it has my strong support. By bringing steel production back to the Hudson Valley, Orange County will serve as a critical <U+0001F517> in the offshore wind supply chain. https://t.co/NQnKFd0yCe
The ambitious goals set via CLCPA require bold action so NYers aren't left holding the <U+0001F4B0> when our clean energy future arrives. Thrilled to see Build Public Renewables, which I co-, passed again in the Senate. Let's get it across the finish line either in budget or legislatively.
As chair of the Senate investigations committee, I<U+2019>m launching an investigation to expose foul play and hold utility companies and power producers accountable to the consumers they<U+2019>ve been robbing blind. Enough is enough. https://t.co/wG0OPp1i2K
The Senate investigation I'm leading into utility companies, power providers, & stakeholders is fully underway; my team & I issued information and document requests under threat of subpoena to the major players, & we expect answers back this week. If there was any wrongdoing... https://t.co/sq2zth9lbq
SIGNED! As <U+0001F321><U+FE0F> dip, NYers who rely on petroleum to heat their homes shouldn't be left holding the bag when their contracted provider can't or won't deliver. Excited to see our legislation, S.8426, sponsored in the Assembly by @AsmSantabarbara, signed into law. https://t.co/ychyrxNoK0
.@SPECNews1HV caught me <U+26FD><U+FE0F> up before I headed to Albany this week! Glad my proposal to create a gas tax holiday was included in this year's budget, starting today. 16 cents per gallon will be kept in NYers<U+2019> pockets through Dec 31. Gas prices are still high, but every bit helps. https://t.co/IjTvASeO3F
1/2 If you've been as alarmed by spikes in your #utility bills as my team and I have, I urge you to call the Department of Public Service to file a complaint about surge pricing or any other issues you've encountered with your utility providers: 800-342-3377
