Senator Velmanette Montgomery joined by the Brooklyn Delegation, urge the chair of the Public Service Commission John B. Rhodes to look into National Grid's decisions to deny Brooklynites Natural Gas services.
Members of the Brooklyn delegation have been flooded with calls from constituents regarding National Grid's decision to no to provide them with gas service.
The core four point of contention for Brooklynites are the various business dealings revolving their denying practices, transparency in the company's decision of what qualifies for a "New service connection", the company's use of consumer information to encourage participation in their corporate lobbying campaign. Ultimately, Brooklynites are concerned that this moratium will have a negative impact on the overall wellbeing of the people of Brooklyn.
