“Today the Public Service Commission approved the Cuomo energy plan, which raises two critical questions:  First, how much will the plan actually cost families and business ratepayers?  As in the past, Mr. Cuomo isn’t being forthcoming as to the real costs on a state that already has among the highest electric costs in the nation.  Second, Cuomo’s plan will result in new construction of electric transmission lines in upstate New York – particularly affecting counties in the 19th Congressional district. The Cuomo energy plan approved today will mean higher electric bills for all and monster power lines for the Catskills and Hudson Valley.” — John Faso
