Tropical Storm 2020

We asked the Mayor about the new class action lawsuit against Eversource and what the next steps are for holding the power company accountable for their lack of preparation ahead of Tropical Storm Isaias. This is what Boughton had to say:

Attorney General, William Tong, urged both Eversource and United Illuminating to immediately reimburse consumers through their shareholders, not ratepayers fund.

The fight for power continues in Danbury, as multiple people are still without it after Tropical Storm Isaias nearly a week ago. NBC Connecticut reported that as of today, there are still over 85,000 people in our state without power...

Driving back and forth between Waterbury and Brookfield this week, I've seen incredible damage all over Western Connecticut, it seems that the recovery is slowly moving along, with Covid restrictions in place, I'm sure that it's tough to get any out of state crew cleared for immediate work

Over the past ten days, Lou and I have reached out to the Eversource Media Department several times to extend interview opportunities and had not heard back. Early this morning, the interview was granted and we were joined by Frank Poirot, an Eversource Media Executive.

We put out the call to show us your storm damage, and we received some amazing pics of serious damage. Here's a few of the craziest.

I'm angry because we have an organization that's a monopoly in this state whose CEO makes 19 million dollars a year and they can't keep the lights on.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency and ordered an investigation as 100,000 Hudson Valley residents still don't have power following Tropical Storm Isaias.

Over 700,000 power outages have been reported across the state of Connecticut.

You have some people who actually know the rules of the road, and then a bunch who don't. I'm here to remind you of some basic rules of the road when we experience no power.
