SCHENECTADY COUNTY — National Grid crews are walking along an off-road transmission line in search of the problem that left 12,000 homes dark early today.
The power outage began at 2 a.m. with problems on a major transmission line that feeds several distribution lines in Schenectady and Rotterdam, National Grid spokesman Patrick Stella said.
Crews patched together a temporary fix and restored power at 6 a.m., then began searching for the cause of the problem. At 9 a.m., another problem appeared on that line, and 4,000 customers’ lights went out, Stella said.................>>>>.....................>>>>...........

our town has more wires on those poles than third world nation

if they clean up upgraded and consolidated once in a while

maybe i f the utilities  put the stuff underground where it belongs in service tunnels

there would be less interruption for that "delivery charge we pay"

the sign is inside a fountain

No Mr. Pope that would not fall under the "No New Tax" insurgents plan to turn the town around.....

i wanted a local law saying
it is to be at the utilities expense
they cannot raise rates(delivery or energy) more than 1% per year
and they must supply service(delivery or energy) until the end of time

Ha wishful thinking. The utility companies cry poor while raising our utility bills the size of a monthly car payment.  There is another company that
needs to be looked into for their constant rate increases.

I agree....sewers and underground......move along before someone moves you along.......

local law.

Rant by the.pope follows

in my perfect world i dont want us to pay a dime
we have been abused by their awful service for decades
and add in time warner also

on telecommunications i do not understand why in 2009 all the residents of this town do not have a choice of 2-3 providers for every household

verizon, time warner and electric grid should have service to every household in this town

and for Brad the same goes in your town and princetown (this is not a dig but a stand with you
on this subject)

there is a franchise agreement at both the town and county level for time warner, some of the words
in the agreement go back to capital cable vision

stand up to the big three

e.g. over 30 years electric grid will collect $18,000 per household in delivery charges

eg over 30 years on the $99 time warner bundle will collect $35,640 per household

get these companies off their rounded portions of the anatomy located on the posterior of the pelvic region
and clean up their mess, install some fibre, add some solar panels to run the towns meter backward(street light)

It's the government involvement in "preventing anarchy and chaos" the 'making things equal'.......bullshit

Get the government out of business and then WE get to make choices.....

let's rob RobinHood before the merrymen(Czars) dig deeper into our pockets for 'the greater good'.......

DONT TREAD ON ME
