Reply to comment by zgrizz in Aquarion a subsidiary of eversource recently aquired my towns public water. I am the only person still furious about this corporations absurd monopoly in CT? by writingonthefall

My mayor is republican. Not that it matters because plenty of CT politicans are financially tied to eversource even the dems.

How do I know what is in negotiation before it goes down? I don't see any news coverage or anything about it.

What do I have to do to stay informed?

I am shaky on CT policy but in RI we have a public utilities commission. It’s a public board of appointed members and they vote to approve an increase in rate request from a utility. They either say no or yes… and the saying here is they always say yes. There’s always a Public hearing, but they always do say yes. They don’t really say well you asked for 10 you really only need 5 to break even, well give you 7. They just give 10. It’s so frustrating.
