WPCNR THE POWER NEWS. By John F. Bailey. March 18,2010: Town of Greenburgh Supervisor Paul Feiner says he will be writing the New York State Public Service Comission and requesting a full investigation and evaluation of how Con Edison decides to commit Power De-Energizing crews and restoration crews across the metropolitan area during this week's unprecendented defusing and restoration of Westchesterites' electricity where 79,000 Con Edison customers were left without power by the tropical storm that lingered and lashed the county last Saturday
Feiner says he wants the PSC to invesitgate why Con Edison did not address the major outages in Westchester first, which were four times that of New York City, where the Con Edison effort apparently went first.
Feiner said no other elected officials-- even in his own town -- are joining him in this challenge to the PSC for an examination of how Con Edison sets priorities in which communities get handled first. "This is hurting people," Feiner said. "I'm getting about a hundred calls a day this morning and I was getting thousands before Tuesday. The first two days Con Ed did nothing for Greenburgh, Yonkers, New Rochelle.
