ALBANY - NYGOP Chair Ed Cox released the following statement in response to Con Ed’s energy rate hikes that could cost New Yorkers $154 per month:

“Kathy Hochul’s radical energy policies are hitting New Yorkers where it hurt: our wallets. These massive Con Ed rate hikes are a direct result of her war on affordable energy, forcing hardworking families to pay more just to heat their homes and keep the lights on. New York Democrats’ reckless green agenda is making life unaffordable, driving citizens and businesses alike out of the Empire State, as we continue to lead the nation in outmigration.”
