Yonkers Councilmember Pineda-Isaac Calls Con Edison’s Sky High Delivery Fees Deeply Troubling”
Calls for Action as Yonkers Residents Struggle with Rising Costs
As Yonkers residents struggle with rising costs of living, Yonkers City Councilmember Pineda Isaac fired off a letter to Con Edison’s CEO Tim Cawley expressing outrage on behalf of Yonkers residents for the electric utility’s disproportionately high “delivery fees” which far exceed those from National Grid.
Calling it “deeply troubling” that financially struggling Yonkers residents are forced to pay such exorbitant delivery fees, Councilwoman Pineda-Isaac says the disparity between Con Edison and National Grid, “raises serious questions about the fairness and transparency of Con Edison’s pricing structure and the impact it is having on working families and vulnerable populations within our community.”
“Over the past several months, my office has been inundated with complaints from constituents who are struggling to keep up with escalating utility costs while also contending with the broader economic challenges of rising housing expenses, inflation, and the overall cost of living,” wrote Councilmember Pineda Isaac in the letter.
The Councilmember has not yet received a formal reply to her letter from Con Edison, but has spoken to Con Edison representatives who acknowledged receipt.
In addition to the letter, Councilmember Corazon Pineda Isaac introduced a resolution into the Yonkers City Council Tuesday calling for greater transparency and protection from Con Edison’s sky high utility rates. The resolution calls on the State Legislature and Governor to pass and sign into law legislation proposed by Senator Shelley Mayer which would “prevent unjustifiable rate increases” and provide more accountability for electric utility companies who violate State policy set by the Public Service Commission. Both bills have passed the New York State Senate and were the subjects of a recent press conference organized by the New York State Senate Majority Conference led by Majority Leader Andrea Stewart Cousins. The bills are awaiting action in the New York State Assembly.
Another resolution introduced Tuesday by Mayor Mike Spano called on the Public Service Commission to “reconsider their approval” of Con Edison’s delivery rate increase. Both resolutions are expected to pass the full Council on Tuesday February 11.

Is DOGE Coming to New York State?
New York State government DOGE Is coming to New York State! For many years New York State’s judicial system, attorney general and comptroller have cooperatively considered themselves above the law in violation of their oaths of office and the New York State peoples Constitution.
In 2022 New York State and Municipal School Districts employed approximately 877,000 full-time workers and an additional 1 million + retirees that were, and are now being ripped off financially by self serving New York State government officials deliberately violating the peoples law.
In 2025 government officials will no longer be allowed to ignore evidence of wrongdoing by refusing to answer incriminating questions of their fraudulent and criminal acts against the people, They will now become accountable to the people they serve and paying their salaries + benefits!

WHEN “YA GOTTA GO””YA GOTTA GO”!!!
A government watchdog association posted an incident: During the summer of 2024, the V.P. Harris team were on a fund raising tour, when one of the Secret Service Agents“felt Natures call”.
The motorcade stopped by a beauty salon, burst in, and while he answered “the call” another agent taped over the stores security cameras stating that he did this to “mitigate threats”.
