Jul 25, 2022 Stephen Krauchick

(Hartford, CT) – Attorney General William Tong today announced a $1.8 million settlement with Eversource over alleged false and deceptive high-pressure tactics seeking to entice consumers to convert to natural gas. “Eversource misled homeowners to get them to switch to natural gas.

I have no idea why I wrote Stratford when I know the streets were in Bridgeport. The only reason I can think of was it was my 14th straight hour of reporting. Apologizes to Stratford and Chief McNeil.
