Wyckoff Mayor Slams Utilities' 'Disorganized,' 'Frustrating' Response

DePhillips: "They need to explain why things are taking so long, and why things are moving at a snail's pace."

In Wyckoff, where it is estimated that more than 3,000 families are still without power Sunday, the township's mayor expressed his lingering frustration with the response of utility companies.
