At the June 25, 2009, Oral Arguement of the DPUC Draft Decision on the CNG Rate Increase Request, Chairman Donald W. Downes excoriated CNG management for threatening to reduce the workforce if their rate increase request was not granted. CNG's attorney responded. Commissioner Anthony J. Palermino further warned the Company that it has the power to not only reinstate any laid off employees but may actually add to their numbers if it feels the safety and reliability of service to ratepayers is threatened.
