I fully support Governor Cuomo in getting involved with the National Grid issue, as he asked for larger investigation into the moratorium on with supplying gas service, especially with residents and businesses on the Rockaway Peninsula,” State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. said. “If National Grid is improperly refusing service to existing or new customers, including those families still recovering from Superstorm Sandy, penalties need to be handed out and alternative service needs to be explored. Nat Grid cannot withhold their service to these communities and leave them without the resources needed to heat their homes, especially with winter right around the corner. I hope this issue can be resolved soon and the people are able to receive their gas services without any problems caused by National Grid's reluctance to supply gas.
