\nOn November 21, 2011, Senator Schumer called on the Public Service Commission to make Utility Companies enhance their communication with customers during power outages. In the most recent October snowstorm, many customers were without power for days with little or no communication with their utility company to know when they would get their power back. Schumer hopes measures will be taken to better inform customers in regard to their utility services. Schumer was joined by Deputy County Executive of Orange County, Jim Donellen as well as other Orange County officials.
