Assemblyman Matt Simpson is pushing for in-person public hearings in North Country on energy plan.
Assemblyman Simpson is calling on the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to schedule in-person public hearings in the North Country for the Draft State Energy Plan just as it has done for several downstate locations.
