Our esteemed Governor ordered them to do it. Pretty much they used a record dump to automatically sign people us for hardship status. If the State of CT told them you make under x or a few other things. This is Neds idea of helping people cope with prices.

You’re gonna have to provide some evidence to substantiate your accusation.

The state/PURA and Eversource gave it a green light.

PURA is headed by Michael Caron, who is the Commissioner, along with two chairmen. Not the governor.

I’m aware of who our Governor is. The Governor and other state officials, not PURA, challenged Eversource and UI, to get “creative” and come up with ways to help low income and at risk customers. This is one of the ways they thought they could help. It was approved by PURA and the state, to go forward, as a pilot program. People are upset that it was allowed. They are upset that any customer could automatically be enrolled without consent. The state had a hand in that. That shouldn’t be ignored.
