ConEd rate hikes, ICE raids loom large at forum hosted by Pierce, Burdick, and Cindrich
Con Edison’s proposed double-digit rate hikes, ICE presence in the county, and a proposed solar farm were discussed at a local “Coffee & Conversation” forum.
Regarding federal agencies, Pierce said:
“We do not hinder their action, but we absolutely do not work with them. Except when there are issues that are not just immigration related, in which we all cooperate, which is the law. As the mayor said, there is no collaboration going on. We want our residents here of all stripes to understand their rights.”
Pierce urged people to not post rumors or unverified information related to raids.
