Senator Michelle Hinchey said, “Central Hudson has shattered our trust in public utilities, and, even after the PSC’s concrete investigative findings, the Company continues to gaslight ratepayers at every turn, showing a callous inability to own up to the harms they’ve caused.
“The only way forward for Central Hudson is through a systemic leadership change and, unequivocally, that must start from the top.
“Over the past six weeks, my office has received 70 new cases from constituents struggling with Central Hudson billing errors, which disproves the Company's claim that its billing system has largely been resolved. We need ratepayers to be made whole, we need to codify my bill to ban estimated billing once and for all, and we need solutions-oriented leaders at the helm of this public utility, which exists to serve in the best interest of the public. The people of the Hudson Valley deserve better.”
