“That’s false.” Senate GOP Statement on Electricity Costs

Sen. Stephen Harding and Sen. Ryan Fazio issued the following statement:

“Regarding unaffordable electricity costs, Gov. Lamont actually just said, ‘What I can do, I am doing.’

That’s false.

Gov. Lamont, just like the state Senate Democrats, opposes removing the hidden ‘public benefits’ tax from electric bills.

He therefore opposes lowering ratepayers’ electricity bills by hundreds of dollars per year.

And what happened to the $400 ‘energy rebates’ for Connecticut families that the governor proposed in February?

And what happened to his proposal for a ‘gas tax holiday’?

Here’s what Gov. Lamont won’t say:

Democrat policies have made Connecticut the second highest in the nation for electricity costs, and it looks like we’ll soon be number one.”
