***URGENT: SUPPORTERS NEEDED TO ATTEND FINGER LAKES LPG STORAGE RESOLUTION VOTE, 6/9/14***
 
Last winter, you as consumers paid more to stay warm because New York’s propane storage infrastructure is out of date. In fact, New Yorkers paid $100 Million more in propane costs, because local dealers had to look as far away as Washington State to find enough propane supply. That is because the State has not approved new propane storage here in New York.
 
Fortunately, there is a proposed propane storage facility in the Finger Lakes that is shovel ready and can help prevent future propane shortages and price spikes. This project also means new jobs and investment Upstate, and more affordable energy bills for all of us each year.
 
The project has been awaiting State approval for nearly 5 years. Finally, there is something we can do about it in order to prevent another costly winter.
 
This Monday, June 9th at 5:30pm, the Schuyler County legislature, which represents the area where the facility would be located, is voting on a resolution to support the project.
 
Your Attendance is Needed!
 
If you live or work in this region, we urge you to make plans to attend. The vote is a tremendous opportunity to stand up as common sense consumers and send a message to the State that we need a stronger propane system. The legislators voting must see supporters of the project in the room.
