Town Officials to Meet with JCP&L

Millburn officials will meet with JCP&L executives this week to discuss the power company’s slow response to power outages during and after the October snowstorm that left more than 3,000 households in Millburn and Short Hills in the dark.

This was the second time some township ,

The meeting is a result of that mayor Sandra Haimoff  sent to the power company to address second time in two months that she has been frustrated by the company’s slow response to the disaster.

After Hurricane Irene, Haimoff wrote a letter to the , seeking that the board conduct hearings into the company’s slow response to that storm.

Haimoff recently said she would like to seek refunds for the town and its residents because of all the days without power.

On Friday, Haimoff said, she has not worked out the exact time or day this week for the JCP&L meting; but she will meet with the company’s regional manager sometime this week.
