Next Monday, Metro Justice will host a town hall to discuss turning Rochester Gas & Electric (RG&E) into a public utility. Rochester City Councilmembers-at-Large will be in attendance. The meeting comes on the heels of the utility's proposed rate hike, and customer complaints about a lack of transparency, billing issues, and more.
This is part two in a series of conversations about RG&E* and its impact in the community. Our guests:
- Mohini Sharma, organizing director at Metro Justice
- Michelle Wenderlich, Ph.D., policy specialist and organizer for the Rochester for Energy Democracy (RED) campaign
- Lawanda Shipman, staff member with the Department of Social Services, and member of the Federation of Social Workers
*A spokesperson for RG&E said the company declined to join this conversation, but will consider a future discussion.
