Utilities Donations Assailed by New York Assemblyman
Public utility companies in New York gave 3.5 million to charities in 1975, paid by consumers via bills. Assemblyman Kremer proposes excluding charitable contributions from rate bases, reversing a 1970 PSC decision. He cites Niagara Mohawk and other utilities as major contributors and criticizes involuntary taxation.
