Good morning, Poughkeepsie.

The State Public Service Commission released its final audit report on NYSEG + RG&E, utilities serving parts of the Mid-Hudson Valley.

The companies must file their implementation plan by June 18 and respond to apparent violations noted by staff within 21 days.

Senator Rolison of Poughkeepsie introduced a bill that would require public hearings before utility companies raise rates — ensuring community members can ask questions — and it advanced through the Senate Energy and Telecommunications Committee before being sent to the Consumer Protection Committee.

The proposals would form programs to review and coordinate state efforts on salt management.

The City of Poughkeepsie will host a community rally tomorrow at Warring Elementary School — at 283 Mansion St. — to oppose Dutchess County's plan for a homeless shelter on Oakley Street as residents, business leaders, and officials express their concerns and urge the county to return to the previous plan. Local leaders may consider legal action if county officials do not address these community concerns.

State Sen. James Skoufis introduced a bill on May 15 to bar Gov. Kathy Hochul's name, signature, or image from inflation refund checks that will be sent starting mid-October.

NJ Transit train service resumed in the Hudson Valley after union talks ended a strike that began last Friday—a first strike in over 40 years.
