NEWS FROM STATE SENATOR LIZ KRUEGER
New York State Senate, 26th District

**Energy Outages on the East Side – Please Conserve**

A majority of feeders which provide electricity from 14th Street up to 40th Street and from 5th Avenue to the East River, have gone out. These include two serving the Madison Square Garden network and three serving the Kips Bay network. Affected areas are in danger of losing power altogether.
