Here in New York City, elected leaders joined activists at a press conference outside National Grid’s headquarters protesting the North Brooklyn pipeline and proposed price hikes to 2 million New Yorkers’ gas bills. This is New York City councilmember and Democratic candidate for Brooklyn borough president, Antonio Reynoso.
Councilmember Antonio Reynoso: “They decided to spend millions of dollars on infrastructure for natural gas. And then they want us, the ones that are going to be suffering because of their decisions, to pay the bill on the future harm to our health. And we want to stop that.”
