Like another commenter, I'm interested in any efforts to reduce car dependence. Through mixed use zoning and densification, bike infrastructure, mass transit funding and infrastructure (especially trains and light rail).

But also, given the recent Eversource hikes and apparent fragility of our electrical grid in CT, I'd super appreciate any investigation of ties between Eversource, their lobbyists, their regulators, and elected officials.

I keep hearing how there's a revolving door and family or political ties that allow for enormous dividend payouts and executive pay, and little in the way of rate relief or grid maintenance or grid hardening.

Are there such connections? Who is getting campaign donations from whom, and to what effect? Is anyone on the take? Are there any legislative efforts to take the grid under state or local control? Or to build more green energy capacity to put downward pressure on rates?

Thank you for asking, and for potentially shedding some sunlight on this mess.
