SUSTAINABLE WESTCHESTER ETC.---NEW YORK'S COMMUNITY CHOICE AGGREGATION (CCA_ PROGRAMS HAVE QUIETLY ENDED STATEWIDE

The saga---all too familiar to Croton residents---continues.....



Once serving more than 200,000 customers, municipal aggregation programs have ceased operating across the state, according to regulators.

NEW YORK (March 19, 2026) — Community Choice Aggregation programs, which once served hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers through municipally managed electricity supply, have now ceased operating statewide, according to the Public Service Commission.

A November 2024 order by the New York Public Service Commission identified significant concerns with the program, including limited customer savings, recurring billing and enrollment issues, and questions about whether it was delivering meaningful benefits. The Commission directed a formal evaluation to determine whether the program should be improved, restructured, or discontinued. READ MORE AT

IN THE NEWS---TURNS OUT MAR-A-LAGO WASN'T OVERVALUED, TISH--NY POST



Forbes just estimated the value of Mar-a-Lago at about $560 million, again exposing the fakery in New York state Attorney General Tish James’ 2023 civil fraud persecution of President Trump.

James argued that Trump had wildly inflated the value of the resort and other properties to get better loan terms from Deutsche Bank.

Democratic hack Judge Arthur Engoron agreed, calling Trump’s half-billion-dollar estimate for the Palm Beach palace “an overvaluation of at least 2,300%, compared to the assessor’s appraisal.” MORE AT Turns out Mar-a-Lago wasn't overvalued, Tish
