• Burlington County Freeholder Director Bruce Garganio recently sent a letter to an administrative law judge protesting South Jersey Gas’ request for a 14.4 percent rate increase for customers. The cost of doing business has gone up. We understand that, but a double-digit increase will present a hardship for many of the county residents served by the company. Consumers need a voice, particularly senior citizens and those on fixed incomes who must deal with ever-increasing costs.

The Burlington County Times Editorial Board gave our Freeholder Director Bruce Garganio a thumbs up for everything he has been doing to fight for us here in Burlington County. We encourage everyone to let their friends and families know about South Jersey Gas’ request, and to assure them that someone is fighting for them!
