   Six years ago, in 2014, while serving in the state Assembly, I   
   testified "Sandy made clear that our electricity infrastructure,   
   staffing and system of accountability is simply ill-prepared to   
   respond to these increasingly common and powerful storms that result   
   in outages, downed lines, and damage to infrastructure." Six years   
   later, I'm sorry to report that little has changed. Now, as the state   
   Senator representing communities from Yonkers to Bedford, Rye to   
   Tuckahoe, these failures of our electricity infrastructure are   
   compounded by the failures of our other essential providers -   
   telephone and internet service companies.
