Petition To Governor Points To High Utility Costs

Connecticut residents are taking action against rising electric bills. On Thursday, a petition with 68,000 signatures was delivered to Governor Ned Lamont’s office, urging the removal of the public benefits charge on power bills. Petitioners say the charges have led to skyrocketing bills for many, especially seniors. While many state officials support the initiative, Governor Lamont claims the costs are tied to crucial energy agreements.
