Well this is nice.
According to a statement from Higgins office, "Despite our proximity to this magnificent force, Western New York's businesses pay energy rates 50 to 60 percent higher than the national average."
Don't get me wrong I like the kid but-
Anyone living in or doing buisness in WNY has known and complained about this for years and years. Why didn't his father do something if something could have been done?
This is just Higgens trying to placate the revolt as if he can really do something. It is a, "Make them feel as if we can truely accomplish this.", calculated political move.
Check! Your move!
I can hear his speach now at the next election cycle for him.
Higgens - I have heard you're comments and brought them back to congress and we are looking into all the potential possibilities of making electricity more affordable for our local buisnesses. I promise you that I will find a solution but I need more time and am certian we can reslove this issue.
Long on good intentions, short on any possible action.
