U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal posted a series of tweets calling on immediate refunds for Eversource customers following power outages caused by Tropical Storm Isaias. After no power, higher rates, & more excuses there should be immediate consumer refunds. Eversource is rolling in money, top management is making tens of millions while consumers sit without power.
