With some in Connecticut just getting their power back one week after Tropical Storm Isaias, a lot of families have wondered aloud whether some other company could do a better job than Eversource and United Illuminating.

He spoke on Connecticut Public Radio’s All Things Considered with host John Henry Smith about the smaller utilities in his district, which performed much better in the week since Isaias. He also talked about why he doesn’t believe the two big electricity providers when they say they couldn’t have staffed their line-worker ranks adequately before Isaias hit.
