@coachwilliemaye Thanks for making tonight so memorable for Betsy and me - you’re the best!

[R. Scott Slifka @ScottSlifka]

In honor of #nationaldaughtersday here’s me with the greatest blessing I’ve had in my life, Betsy. This also allows me to fulfill her wish that I post a recent photo of her so the internet does not eternally show her as 8 years old 😀.

@DailyRuctions “Very large chunk” results from the same scientific rigor as their pre-storm analysis

@Jaspell @ctnewsjunkie Thanks - much appreciated. If drafted, I’m happy to do my duty!

@ryanhanrahan I’m going to venture a guess that cost considerations was the most significant variable

[R. Scott Slifka @ScottSlifka]

@ctcapitolreport So what exactly have they been doing with the public’s money since 2011?

[R. Scott Slifka @ScottSlifka]

I wish that I could say I’m shocked, but this was entirely predictable given Eversource’s 2011 performance. Clearly they’ve proven unworthy of the public’s trust. Fool me twice . . .

[Hartford Courant @hartfordcourant]

A top state utility regulator said Eversource misclassified Tropical Storm Isaias, estimating it would cause half as many outages as it ultimately did, leaving the utility unready to respond to the devastation the storm left. https://t.co/gplDzZrnBu
