“Across the Hudson Valley, families are making tough choices just to keep up with the rising cost of living from skyrocketing electric bills, higher grocery prices, and the added burden of congestion pricing. Hardworking families deserve real relief, not more uncertainty. That’s why I introduced the Ratepayer Reduction Act (S1031), a bill that puts transparency and fairness first, requiring the Public Service Commission to calculate the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act's (CLCPA) exact cost to ratepayers. It also delivers a much-needed tax credit to households earning under $200,000 to help ease their financial strain. This legislation would make energy costs more transparent, more predictable, and more affordable for the hardworking families of our region,” said Senator Rob Rolison.
