Residents of the Glen Oaks Village Co-Op gathered with city council candidate Joseph Concannon on Tuesday (12-13-16) to raise their voices after going without gas in their homes since Nov. 3rd. The presser was fully covered by the media, Queens Tribune reporting, “A Month Without Gas in Glen Oaks” and Times Ledger, “Gas pains at Glen Oaks.” Concannon cried out admonishing the elected officials and city agencies who were AWOL and the powers that be: “City of New York: wake up. Get the gas back on here.” The gas was turned on after the presser as reported in Queens Chronicle, “Glen Oaks gets gas fixed after presser” and Queens Courier, “UPDATE: Glen Oaks co-op residents regain gas service after being without for more than five weeks.”
