Awesome memory of a rally here:

🎉🇺🇸🥁🥁🇺🇸🇺🇸

Here's what really happened with Eversource. I just got off the phone with my State Representative, Tim Ackert, and he explained in great detail what was going on. In February of this year, the republicans asked for a special session to discuss the plan for the resolution of the $800 million dollar moratorium that happened during COVID. There is an act called ARPA (American Recovery Plan Act) which has $700 million, which would have essentially wiped out the charges. The Democratic Majority refused the session and PURA and the Governor voted for this charge. There are 5 commissioner positions on PURA and 2 remain unfilled. Marissa Gillette is the Chair and she voted against the Public Benefit charge. Michael Caron, another on the committee voted for it and promptly retired. There is a new commissioner, David Arconte who was just appointed. In addition, last week they voted on the EV charge which he said could come from the federal infrastructure money given to the state, but again, the Governor and PURA voted essentially to pass that onto tax payers. Since this started, they have sent two letters, the second today, to the governor for a special meeting to amend this bill, with no response. His suggestion was to continue to call and email the governors office (860-566-4840) and he said that the way to avoid this kind of mess would be to vote republican because right now the democrats have the majority, but if the legislature were more even, then the republicans could check and have more say on what is happening. He also suggested to call your representatives and continue to circulate the petition. I got this post from my friends page who did all of the footwork on this one. Hope this helps

For some reason, the Manhattan DA office in NY is having a high volume of calls at 212-335-9000.

Biden to appear at Greenwich fundraiser on Monday June 3rd 2024.

With a tight race that could go either way, President Joe Biden will be in Greenwich next week for a big-dollar fundraiser to fill his campaign coffers.

Virtually the entire leadership of the state Democratic Party is rallying behind the event and is listed on the invitation: Gov. Ned Lamont, U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, former U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd, U.S. Rep. Jim Himes, Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz, and more than a dozen others. The list also includes Shonda Rhimes, a famed television producer who created “Grey’s Anatomy” and was named three times by Time magazine as among the world’s 100 most influential people.
