NEW YORK At a meeting Tuesday of the Council's Consumer Affairs
Committee, Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. asked that the state Public
Safety Commission consider its own interim report when it comes
time to decide on the rate request.
The PSC report found Con Ed deficient in some of its oversight
of the pipe that ruptured last July.
Con Ed spokesman Michael Clendenin said rate hikes are needed
for infrastructure expansion and improvements due to growth in the
city's economy and increased energy use.
