State Senator Kenneth P. LaValle and his challenger in next month’s election, Southampton Town Councilwoman Bridget Fleming, are at odds over the recent Long Island Power Authority decision to renew a 15-year agreement with National Grid, the British supplier of natural gas and electricity.
The agreement contracts National Grid to continue to provide 3,700 megawatts of capacity from its 50 power plants, and is expected to save ratepayers $10 million over the first five years, according to LIPA.
Ms. Fleming spoke out in opposition of the decision last week on the grounds that the agreement lacks a firm commitment to the “twin goals” of keeping electric rates down on Long Island and moving toward renewable energy sources.

Maybe you like paying twice the national average for electricity, more than anyone except Hawaii. That's what we pay here on
LI, all because of Ken LaValle's deal with National Grid. Me, I don't like it.
Of course, it begins add up when you see that the LaValle and the Senate Republicans have collected over $30,000 in contributions from National Grid PACs over the last five years.
All ...more true, Nellie. You may not like Bridget, but you've gotta like this scam even less.
You don't get off that easily, no way. Again I ask you to say in what respect you think "the facts are different" from what I've said here, under this article. Again, please be specific.
I think YOU need to prove that what you say is indeed fact. Where is it documented, other than in your mind?
You are why politics has sunk to a new low.
Good day.
My statements about electricity cost are from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, www.eia.gov/electricity/state, amplified in a piece in Port Jefferson's Port Times Record, 7/12/12, page A14. My statements about political ...more contributions are from the New York State Board of Elections campaign finance disclosure reports, www.elections.ny.gov, re The Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee and Ken LaValle, from 2007 to the present.
Again, you're welcome to show how you think "the facts are different" from what I've said, but you won't.
You talk about throwing mud & sinking to a "new low," but anyone who looks at this thread will see that I've been tough, but I haven't done any of that. You, on the other hand, . . . . .
JET was quite succesful as a plasma fusion reactor, and ITER is coming along.
In my opinion, Shoreham should never even have made it off the drawing board.
