There are no fees to change suppliers.

Yes, the delivery portion of the bill comes from Eversource but if you use 1000kWh and you are paying a supplier 14.8C/kWh instead of 28c/kWh the savings on the actual ‘electricity used’ part are clear

I wouldn't be surprised if there were some in the Quiet Corner

In Central CT, trash collection is run by big companies like All Waste, but in Western CT, there's all those little trash collecting companies, and the corporate trash collectors can't get a foothold. I wonder why that is? A kid I went to school with runs one of the local trash companies and almost went to prison just for cutting deals with Galante, who was a competitor.
There's also active mob in Hartford, but they're more active in construction, sports books, vending machines, drugs, etc. They've been dying out though. The current generation is much less powerful than the last one. I used to go to a restaurant in the South End where you could place bets with the bookie bartender and eat Italian food with all the old mobsters, but it was sold, bulldozed and replaced with a chain store a decade ago.
Ever since RICO, a lot of the smarter young guys are figuring out that it's easier and safer to make money in the private sector. That's leading to a brain drain leaving the knuckleheads in charge of the rackets, so they keep getting weaker with time.

About 40-50 years ago, there was pretty big mob activity in the Hartford area. Then a car bomb in Rocky Hill killed one of them in public and the FBI stepped in, so it's mostly taken care of since then.

GOP is pro big business. They'd rather money be funneled into the bloated medical system than building intergenerational wealth

I live in the wooded area. Right in the thick of it. Don’t see no Klan. Mansfield? OK.

Lol. Look up the article about the father chasing someone around somers shooting at them. 1970s I think. But they are more business. Less organized. But they have friends. I’ve heard some story’s. Like a watch went missing and some nyc friends found it for them.

Serious question. Where is the KKK active in CT?
I know there were some rallies 40 years ago but today? I know an old guy who still praises the Klan but he’s also a staunch Catholic so I’m guessing he’s not fully aware of their agenda.

Mafia yes… and also some local politicians who, with their buddies, organize white collar crime.

Why the Quiet Corner? I would think Avon and Glastonbury.
