HARTFORD – The House of Representatives, on Wednesday, took up several pieces of legislation and additional legislative business for consideration. On the agenda was the reappointment of PURA Chair, Marissa Gillett. This was the most contentious item debated and acted on during Wednesday’s House business.
“Today, I voted against Marissa Paslick Gillett’s reappointment to PURA. I’ve heard you and I’m advocating for you. Our electric rates are too high. The status quo isn’t working and we need someone who will create an environment for fairer rates and more accountability,” said Rep. Martin Foncello.
Despite his opposition, the House ultimately voted to move the confirmation forward, largely on a party-line vote. The Senate, to date, has yet to take action on her appointment.
