Con Ed To Seek Rate Increase Despite Criticism Of Post-Sandy Response

Given its New York. Screw'em. Stay cold blue state and don't worry Obama will come along to bail you out.

Con Edison has been harshly criticized for its post-Superstorm Sandy response, but the utility company says that won’t keep it from continuing to seek a rate increase.

Thousands of Con Ed customers are still cold and without power – 11 days after Sandy hit.

“I’m very sorry about what happened, very sorry,” CEO Kevin Burke said.
