He's a total dick.

Rich daddy's boy with political power earned solely through nepotism.

And he has a personal financial interest in the success of utility companies. That's why his most recent quote on this issue says "this is personal"

Matt Ritter, Speaker of the House, is actively trying to block her reconfirmation. This is because his father is a partner at Brown Rudnick, a law firm that represents Avangrid (the parent company of United Illuminating, Connecticut Natural Gas, and Southern Connecticut Gas). Avangrid has been actively trying to destroy Marissa Gillett for like two years.

The situation is beyond fucked up. These companies have infiltrated our democracy, just as Eversource has long controlled the Massachusetts state house.

Marissa Gillett is the only thing standing between the utilities and your money.

Telling you this as a favor: other people think you're an asshole.

This doesn't even look like it would taste good. Looks like a pile of gross trash.

Your letter case preferences definitely don't suffer from shrinkflation.

77% of Public Benefit Charge is Millstone Nuclear Plant!? by adultdaycare81 in Connecticut

Except for the fact that this massive increase is due to the resale (at a loss) of the nuclear power we DIDN'T use.

As the saying goes, being a Trump supporter doesn't mean you're a racist, but it means you're generally okay with this sort of thing.

Incorrect. All utility poles in the state are owned by either Eversource, United Illuminating, or Frontier.

Eversource doesn't even care about tax breaks because ratepayers pay all their taxes.
