Senator Michael Testa (R-1) has criticized the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) for their lack of representation in South Jersey, noting that no board members reside south of Lambertville.
"South Jersey residents lack proper representation from the BPU because none of their members actually live in our communities," said Sen. Testa. "Without these critical local ties, BPU officials fail to fully understand how their policy decisions impact our local residents and businesses and lead to higher energy costs. South Jersey communities deserve to have real representation from the BPU to fully grasp how certain decisions will affect our lives."
Senator Testa is considering legislative measures to ensure equal representation from the BPU across all regions of New Jersey.
"This is yet another example of how those making major, long-lasting decisions in Trenton forget about the hardworking families and small businesses in South Jersey," Sen. Testa concluded.
