The DPUC throws it on the backs of the customers!

CL&P gets approval for a $365M rate hike for the rubber stamp group DPUC. CL&P neglected to take care of the trees with regular maintenance for years and then after 3 major storms and the damaged that was caused they were now forced to clean up and correct negligence. But it is we the customer who is getting saddled with this bill.
CL&P should be picking up the cost of their years of negligence.
