Classic Pain NiMo critic fights Niagara Mohawk woes
John Testone, Niagara Mohawk stockholler, has long challenged officials over high executive pay and lavish perks. He cites $920,000 two years’ pay plus stock options for CEO William Davis and similar golden parachutes for others. Directors’ $20,000 yearly fees and $1,000 per meeting, plus costly Albany to DC legal work, strain customers and shareholders. The Public Service Commission finds $100 million fuel-buying waste, Nine Mile II overruns persist, and Testone’s IRS dispute fuels his push. A three member board committee to review his complaints signals action, though it hires another outside lawyer.
