SAUGERTIES, N.Y. â Village Board members are not enamored with the prospect of establishing an ordinance that would set a community electricity provider.
The concerns were raised during a video conference meeting Monday, with Mayor Bill Murphy saying that residents should not be caught in the position where they donât realize they have to request to stay with Central Hudson.
âUnless thereâs a way that every person that pays utility bills with Central Hudson get informed that they have to opt out, I donât like that idea of this board automatically signing 6,000 people up and then saying, if you donât like it, you have to opt out yourself, â he said.
