Rudnick Testifies at PUC Hearing on PGW Proposed Rate Hike

"No one at this hearing is to blame. We are dealing with a global and national situation where the failed energy policy of our leaders has caused commodity prices to skyrocket. With 25 % of our city's population living below the poverty line and another 30% just above, the gas fees cause great hardship. We, as a society, as the State of Pennsylvania, are judged on not how well we care for the middle and upper class but on how well we care for the most vulnerable among us. The burden needs to be shared across the state" Paraphrase from testimony before the Pennsylvania  Public Utility Commission, Dorothy Emanuel Recreation Center, March 26.
