Reply to comment by dziuniekdrive 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

So I need to consistently monitor it before it happens? No public discussion or announcment necessary? How should anyone know what to expect before it is inflicted on them?

An antitrust lawsuit against EVERSOURCE is overdue.

“There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now. … What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh, for heaven’s sake, mankind, it’s only four light years away, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout. Energize the demolition beams.”

― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Torrington for me. I recently bought this house. But still don't get how I should stay on top of local politics.

The state agencies have email lists and usually stuff like this has to go through a public notice/comment period which is published in the newspaper.
