Homeowners Bill Con Ed

Tonight in Sunnyside, on the anniversary of last year's blackout, a flashlight march will be held to protest the increase in power rates across the city. Activists from the Western Queens Power for the People Campaign will be presenting a "giant check" sized utility bill to the power company, which will rack up the amount they feel Con Ed still owes the community in damages and lost revenue from the 2006 blackout. It's a safe bet the Con Ed representatives won't be on hand to recieve the "large fascimile" bill, and it probably won't fit in their post office box either, so they'll have to read about it in the Queens Ledger. Starts at 7 on Greenpoint Ave and 43rd St.
