York State Electric & Gas "Corp^ioiT(NY§£Grerectric rite proposals. ' '• / '., On September 30,2005, New York State Electric and Gas Corporation ("NYSEG") filed a proposal to extend its current rate plan, which expires December 31,2006, for a period of sixv^ars. That proposal, as updated, would increase NYSEG's APPROVHIOVER THE PHONE FOR rates for delivery service jjy approximately $58 million in ye; md freeze those rates for the term of the plan. NYSEG proposes to offset the delivery rate increase by using pieviously collected funds and by "levelizing" reductions to the non-bypassable wires charge. This rate levelization would defer recovery of the costs of certain long-term purchased power contracts, with interest, from the first two years of the rate plan to the remaining years, thereby equalizing the' + annual amounts to be collected from customers. • • • NYSEG's proposal would continue the Voice Your Choice program under which customers may obtain their electricity supply from an ESCO or from NYSEG. NYSEG proposes to continue its supply options, which include a variable commodity rate that changes monthly and a fixed commodity rate that changes once every two years. Under the NYSEG proposal, it would be allowed to earn a profit on the sale of electricity commodity, subject to a sharing of the profits with customers above a specified overall earnings threshold. After reviewing NYSEG's filing and requesting additional information, the Department of Public Service Staff and other parties submitted testimony and exhibits proposing that the Commission reject or modify substantial elements of the BANK RATES NYSEG filing. Staff recommends that NYSEG's delivery rates be reduced by approximately $79 million and that rates be set for only one year. Under Staff's proposal, the non-bypassable wires charge would decrease as scheduled, without Equity Now is the go-to mortgage lender for fast approval on no income check and self* any levelization.

Spencer, in art interview with Hie Associated Press, described Kathleen Troia 'KT" McFarland as' a desperate candidate who has spread falsehoods about him. "She's run the sleaziest cam- paign I've ever seen in my 14 years in politics," said Spencer, a former Yonkers mayor. "I think she should quit the race because she doesn't have any sup- port and she's trying to gain sup- port by telling scurrilous, sleazy stories that are not true about my personal life," Spencer told the AP. Spencer's comments were in re- sponse to an interview McFar- land's chief strategist Ed Rollins, gave to a New York City cable news station Tuesday. Rollins at- tacked Spencer's record as mayor, the extramarital affair he had with his then-chief of staff — Kathy Spring — and the two out-of-wed- lock children he fathered. McFarland spokeswoman Mor- gan Ortagus-Dobbs said McFar- land, a former Pentagon spokes- woman and speechwriter, had nq intention of leaving the Senate- race. The two Republicans are seeking their party's nomination to challenge Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. "Mr. Spencer needs to take a , ' ' , , ' 11,' ^ ' i %J. long look in the mirror before he refers to anyone as 'scurrilous' or 'sleazy,'" Ortagus-Dobbs said, "Every statement reported about Brian Pearson holds a portrait of Bobby Sand^bft Wednesday in his Pearl River home.
