State Rep. Lonnie Reed (D‑Branford) will seek to restore a major energy bill that would modernize the electric grid, a bill that died before the tumultuous end of the recent legislative session.
She told the Eagle that the legislature is expected to hold a special session toward the end of June to discuss certain bills and she plans to fight to restore the bill, which passed in the Senate. Reed, the co-chair of the Energy and Technology Committee, plans to press for the bill, which was studied throughout the session and is considered a major piece of legislation. The bill died on the other side of the midnight deadline.
The bill may have fallen to the back of the pack because she voted against the budget. Click here to read the full story by Jan Ellen Spiegel of the Connecticut Mirror.
