More than 30,000 residents have signed a petition demanding CT Governor Ned Lamont remove the "public benefits" charge on electric bills. See petition here.
Energy bills have nearly doubled for many since July. The public benefits charge amounts to 20-30% of your electric bill and is a hidden tax to fund State mandates (such as subsidizing unpaid bills during covid and subsidizing electric vehicles).
Between the lines: CT is one of the costliest States for energy in the union. You can thank Democrat-run Connecticut for getting us here.
