As quoted in the Wall Street Journal:
“They ran out of poles, believe it or not,” Cuomo said. “They ran out of poles. You know, poles are something that a utility company would want to have, you would think. You look at what a utility company does, it basically comes down to wire and poles and crews and trucks. These are things you would want to have. How can you run out of poles?”
What do you think the governor’s reaction would have been if last month the utility company had come to him for a rate hike so they could acquire and store enough poles and equipment, and hire and train enough crews, to immediately replace every pole in the event of a hurricane?
