Pittsburgh, Pa. − January 16, 2025 − Senator Lindsey M. Williams released this statement today, following the resignation of the Pennsylvania Consumer Advocate, Patrick Cicero:
“I commend Consumer Advocate Patrick Cicero for his advocacy on behalf of everyone who pays a utility bill across the Commonwealth and for his work highlighting the importance of keeping municipal water authorities publicly owned. I also want to thank him for his willingness to participate in my “Demystifying Harrisburg” series that informed residents about their rights as ratepayers and how to navigate Pennsylvania’s deregulated energy industry, which can lead to deceptive and confusing mailers and phone calls about switching energy companies. I hope the next Consumer Advocate is as mindful of the threat to Pennsylvanians’ right to safe and reliable utility service as Mr. Cicero.”
