The Westchester County Board of Legislators is hosting a series of “Public Input Sessions” across the County to give residents an opportunity to voice concerns about Con Edison's proposed rate hikes, which would increase average residential electricity bills by 11.4% and gas bills by 13.3% by 2026.

In March, the County became a party to the major rate case against Con Edison to ensure the interests of Westchester residents are heard.
