The Jewett Town Board voted to support Congressman Nick Langworthy's Energy Choice Act and to oppose government-mandated bans on natural gas and propane hookups.
Chair (S2) framed the resolution as a local statement: "We wanna support, energy choice, take part household, small businesses, keep affordable, fuel, be able to heat our homes, and have backup generators in our town." He said the town would pass the resolution along to the congressman, state senators, U.S. senators, the governor and leadership of the New York State Legislature.
