Public Service Commission Should Meet in Westchester to Discuss Con Ed Response

Let's hold a joint meeting with local officials, the NYS Public Service Commission and Con Ed.

At a meeting I held at Greenburgh Town Hall on November 19th to discuss the recent Con Ed outages a good suggestion was made:

that we invite the NYS Public Service Commission (which oversees Con Ed) and the new commissions the Governor is appointing to hold a joint meeting with local elected officials and Con Ed in Westchester to discuss the recent Con Ed outages and to develop a plan of action so that the nightmare which residents recently experienced never happens again.

A citizens committee I have formed has been working on developing specific recommendations. I am flying to Florida today to visit my in-laws so won't be able to attend the meeting with Con Ed.

A big part of the problem is that the teachers' expectations about what supplies are necessary haveRead More become so extreme. When my kids were in school in Tarrytown, we would get a list at the beginning of every school year of the supplies we needed to buy. The parents were asked to buy a separate looseleaf binder for every single class our kids were taking and, for some classes, they asked for a looseleaf AND a spiral notebook. When I was in school, each kid had ONE looseleaf and we separated classes with dividers. Having SIX or seven loose leafs adds to backpack weight and costs a lot of money. My kids supply bills were often close to $100 apiece. The teachers have bought into this idea that all of these supplies are necessary and they are not. I'm not surprised that Staples is offering "rewards programs." Their advertising and marketing efforts have convinced the teachers that you must have a package of 12 red correcting pens, per child.
