>You should read the actual plan not the article which is incredibly misleading.(https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Mnx3ML1iKdc8ZYyJ3pxe1ufhwarVkCHi/view) It's calling for the fees imposed by the state on the energy bills to be included in the state budget and not reflected on our energy bills. It has nothing to do with any money that eversource is receiving but government fees imposed by lawmakers. It also calls for a separation of PURA from DEEP to give it more control of the situation and differentiate PURA policies from DEEP which hinder energy procurement sources. It also calls for the expansion of procurement from nuclear, hydro, and other viable and stable options. Lastly it calls for more oversight of utility companies. > >Sounds pretty reasonable to me when you actually read it. Considering so far we are just using state programs funded by tax payers and donations to subsidize the higher costs and excuse their practices as you seem to believe this proposal was about.

It's all buzzwords and nonsense.

Yes it would certainly be easier for Eversource to run circles around PURA if it didn't have all the lawyers and scientists from DEEP to contend with.

Obviously Eversource would love nothing more than to weaken PURA.

Obviously the rest of the proposal you're okay with, such as neutering the ability of PURA and the AG to enforce settlements against Eversource.

The Republican plan is to literally guarantee payments to Eversource as a reward for their record profits and rising stock price while simultaneously blowing a gaping hole in the state budget.

Never enough money for social programs or school books, but when it comes to a handout to energy companies, those Republicans are right there with a plan all fleshed out.

You know, back in the '60s we used to smoke this shit on the street. Cops didn't say nothin', hell, they was gettin' high, too. Everybody was good. It wasn't a thing to do because it was a thing to do, you know? It was a thing to do because it got you high. Can you dig it? Man, I remember when a dimebag cost a dime, you know what I mean?

That's a jet flying away from you. You're facing roughly, south by southwest, and the jet looks like it's heading slightly more southerly, maybe even southeasterly? The part of the contrail closest to you has been pushed around by the wind a bit. It looks dark, just as the clouds, because it is already in Earth's shadow. Sunset was at 4:28.

E: JetBlue 1031 Boston to LaGuardia, final answer.

You know that every year they play a big tournament to find out who the two best teams are right, and then those two teams play each other, and that most of the time, for a while, the Patriots won their league and the bowl, basically nonstop?

I don't know. To a dispassionate observer, isn't that the best team?

Seems like you cannot be objective about this.
