Washington, DC -Today, Congressman Van Drew issued the following statement on Atlantic City Electric's (ACE) inadequate response to his request for a halt to all shut-off notices as well as a public forum amid the surge in electric bills affecting South Jersey residents.

"This response from Atlantic City Electric is absolutely unacceptable," said Congressman Van Drew. "Their weak excuses do not make up for their lack of action when thousands of constituents are struggling under the weight of these outrageous electricity bills. I am putting them on notice that I am not backing down until my constituents get real answers and relief. It is long overdue for them to take immediate action to address this crisis."
