Holy Shite - 100,000 people on Connecticut still

[malaise]

don't have power after last weekend's snow storm

1. And the Republicans unanimously voted down an infrastructure jobs bill.

(I know, it isn't a direct correlation but it still PISSES me off!)

3. What better way to keep people in the dark?

(Also no direct correlation to the OP but it almost makes sense.)

[RagAss]

2. I wonder how many employees of power companies up there were laid-off in the past few years?

[NutmegYankee]

4. And the anger is growing with each day.

I got lucky this time and had my power restored in about 9 hours. Last time (Irene), I was out for a little over 6 days. But i know some without power, and it's irritates to the core. Fuck CL&P and their greedy Management. We pay the highest fucking electric rate in the CONUS and yet we have this shitty response?
