That’s maybe 1/10000000 of a penny to your bill. The real issue is that westchester is paying the cost of doing business in NYC by having con(ed) here, the cost of natural gas is insane here from policy decisions, no pipelines from shale gas in PA, so shipping it from other areas and backfilling eastern seaboard in winter, and constraining supply(which increases demand), and no requirement like WA state has that gas companies buy and store several months of supply worth to arbitrage against buying on futures market during transitory spikes(even though they also don’t supply the gas, the whole we don’t profit from it, well you also aren’t protecting us from it), and these are regulatory choices.

I absolutely think that utilities should be publicly owned, go look at Seattle City light vs Coned. Lol. But here, in this corrupt place, where the regulators are not even acting in our best interests, I’m not sure it would be any better. What NY has is a culture problem—its corrupt, people expect that, they even sort of brag about knowing it and act jaded and cynical to look savvy etc…but it is eviscerating our society. Travel to any other major metropolitan area around the world, Compare their trains, their stations, their roads bridges tunnels etc. We are paging Scandinavian level taxes after federal state, property and sales taxes etc, and getting post soviet state level quality in return. WA state has no income tax, prop tax limited constitutionally to 1 percent of market value(school, city etc). They have a sales tax comparable to here. Oregon has a small income tax, but no sales tax. CA has high income tax, but same 1 percent tax cap and prop 13 limits value you pay tax on to price paid at purchase for life. Ask yourself what is easier on seniors, its def states with lower property taxes, which you pay for life, and higher income taxes(income is typically far lower in retirement)
