A friendly reminder that on November 8, 2021, Robert Rosenthal, the New York State Public Service Commission general counsel, admitted what the cost will be. The power purchase agreement will supply us energy “at an average price of 22 cents per kWh.”
It’s almost comical that both the town supervisor and the head town attorney touted early last year that it will only cost us ratepayers $0.002 per kWh. But I can’t do John Jilnicki math that’s backed up by Peter Van Scoyoc: Jilnicki’s uneducated answer last April, Van Scoyoc repeating it that May, Rosenthal finally admitting what was agreed upon at the contract’s inception.
Green means money, and our Town Board and Trustees sold us all out for a pittance.
Watching the watchers, still here.

Connective ThreadsIt was a stunningly beautiful day for our community to gather for the worldwide rally declaring “No Kings” in America. The sun reflected on my phone where my speech notes were housed, rendering my mapped-out speech a circuitous chopping block...
