Reply to comment by writingonthefall 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

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.
