Jul 15, 2021 Stephen Krauchick

Hartford, CT)– Attorney General William Tong today praised a final decision by the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority imposing a $29 million civil penalty against Eversource for its failure to meet its obligations to ratepayers in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Isaias. “Eversource failed its customers and put Connecticut families at risk.

Jul 14, 2021 Stephen Krauchick

What Project Longevity is, according to their about us page at https://www.project-longevity.org/about_us , “is a Community and Law Enforcement initiative to reduce serious violence”.
