Your electric bill will be increasing, again!
Gov. Lamont says he wants to lower utility bills. Well, he has a choice on his desk at this very moment. H.B. 5340, which passed the legislature in May on a party line vote, would objectively increase Public Benefits charges in our electricity bills by billions over the coming decades. It would do so by subsidizing profits of for profit Energy production companies on the backs of working class Connecticut families. If Gov. Lamont wants to avoid violating another promise to voters, he must veto this H.B. 5340 before it automatically becomes law in just under two weeks and change course.
