I feel we should applaud Eversource for the swift action, it’s a massive nationwide storm and theyve done exemplary. It would be one thing to say we don’t know where the increased cost goes but it’s clear it’s for work such as this, also the pesky lineman labor unions don’t help the matter. They’re the real ones with the “gimme gimme gimme” attitude. Guess who pays their ridiculous rates and overtime? Working class hurting then working class is what it is.

Exemplary? By what metric?? Just about every other state has moved faster and had less outages.

By the way, the reason we had more outages IS NOT because the storm was more intense here then other states. It’s because Eversource doesn’t maintain their poles and lines, or trim properly, or staff properly.
