EN ESPAÑOL | White Plains, N.Y. — AARP New York was joined today by state and local officials in Westchester County to fight Con Edison’s proposal to raise its electric and gas rates by more than $2 billion. The attendees said the rate increase proposal would impose additional financial strain on hundreds of thousands of households already burdened by rising utility costs.

The State of Maryland has entered a partnership to make low-cost medicine available to state residents.

AARP Connecticut applauds the final decision by the Connecticut Public Utility Regulatory Authority (PURA) to reject United Illuminating Company’s supplemental rate increase request. An approved increase would have significantly raised the cost of electricity for Connecticut ratepayers, who already pay the highest retail electricity price in the continental United States.

According to the Federal Trade Commission, theft through fraud may have been as high as $158.3 billion in 2023 alone. To put this into perspective, if fraud was a US company, it would be in the top 40 by revenue. That’s $434 million every day, or about $300,000 every minute – stolen from Americans by fraud criminals.

You get a call from a panicked grandchild or other family member. They say they're in a time-sensitive crisis—hospitalized after a car accident or jailed for example—and beg for immediate financial help.

Across the U.S., housing shortages are impacting millions of Americans. From coast to coast, residents are facing high interest rates and low housing supply – making it nearly impossible to find affordable housing. Delaware is no exception. Residents of the First State are facing a staggering 19,000-unit affordable housing shortage with no end in sight.
