The customers of New York American Water (NYAW) have been paying rates 500% more than other water companies across Long island. NYAW has admitted to falsifying tax filings to receive further rate increases. They bill customers for capital improvements yet they received millions in federal funds for this purpose.

I don't know a single person who hasn't been affected by the problem of an erroneous credit report. Trying to correct even blatant issues is all but impossible, since the agencies give companies the last word in any dispute. This is important to all of us, because these agencies unilaterally generate a number that can translate into costlier car/home insurance, utilities, and mortgages. A lower credit score can even prevent a buyer from qualifying for a home or auto loan. We were recently affected by the Equifax data breach, since they sell our information, as well. I firmly believe that these problems need to be addressed by legislation that provides strict oversight for these companies. This includes a mechanism for resolving disputed debts, provisions for correcting erroneous reports, consumer control over their ability to market our personal data, and a concrete plan to limit the overarching power of these agencies. Thank you.

Decent Americans should not have to pay for racist propaganda on television. Make Fox News an additional fee on Cox just like pornography so we can protect our children from racism and antisemitism. This is not censorship; people who want Fox News can still get it for an additional fee on basic or Contour. If Cox will not remove Fox News from its tier 1 Contour package, boycott Cox--cancel it!! We shouldn't be forced to subsidize racism just so our kids can watch Animal Planet.

Throughout its coverage of the 2016 elections journalists dictated the information we received based on stories that would generate the most sales revenue. This resulted in a lack of information about the candidates and their positions on topics that actually mattered, an unbalanced amount of reporting on the candidates, and an obsessive focus on specially selected topics. Journalists wrote more about the Clinton- email scandal than all of Trump’s scandals combined. They commented on who had the best chance of winning and what the general public was saying about each candidate rather than reporting on candidates proposed policies.

I love golf, dislike the corrupt current president, and would like to see him denied a prestigious golf tournament at one of his golf clubs.

I want to be supportive of brick and mortar retailers and enjoy the experience of taking my daughter shopping for clothing. But young girls — and boys — should have the ability to chose clothing that doesn’t reinforce gender norms and especially doesn’t reinforce negative stereotypes of women.

We need to stop the unfolding disaster in Venezuela.

There are six outstanding women candidates running for president and Amy Klobuchar is one of them. We do not want to repeat history and have the New York Times and other media, once again, sabotage the chance for us to have one of these extraordinary women as our president.

To get Palm Oil out of Whole Foods and 365 products

The hiring is despicable & teaches our youth that there are no ramifications for telling lies " to the world " only rewards.

I am fed up with having to stand at check out lines where these tabloids are staring me in the face.

Approximately 40 %of our country is being lied to daily. We need the Fairness Doctrine to expose these misinformed citizens to the truth.
