Um no...Maybe they would be here with a better attitude and performance if the attorney general hadn't waited a year to screw them on the day the company was closing the deal. Guess they didn't know about the RI kickback system? Oh well, live with what you voted in folks.

Short history, Company comes to buy RI from Nat grid. Process to take about a year. Questions come up over who is overseeing the sale for the state. Its decided that the PUC would double check to make sure RI interests are represented. One year in all boxes have been checked, all public hearings have been held. In the afternoon of the last day when the deal was to close at end of business the RI attorney general files suit stopping the deal untit he gets his say. Cost to Nat Grid and PPL....Millions.

Federal law says they must be accurate also, Uniforms, truck lettering, signage, with no time leeway, imagine just the cell phone switch. Complete havoc on a company. I was surprised PPL did not walk away.
