17
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 2>At that point, you will be asked to select your utility.

18
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:18.319
<v Speaker 2>Your choices are pretty easy. National Grid, ever Source, UNITIL.

19
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Now this is for electricity, So in my instance, I

20
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:26.760
<v Speaker 2>just selected my supplier. It's one of three choices. Okay.

21
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:31.319
<v Speaker 2>Then it says select account type. It's real simple. Residential

22
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:36.560
<v Speaker 2>commercial or large commercial. So I'm residential. Then you're asked

23
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:39.319
<v Speaker 2>to put in your zip code. It's as simple as

24
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:43.319
<v Speaker 2>putting in your zip code five letters. Then it says

25
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:48.439
<v Speaker 2>compare electricity rates. You will be brought to a point

26
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.319
<v Speaker 2>where you can select the rates that you feel are

27
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.200
<v Speaker 2>most reasonable for you. Okay. There's a whole bunch of

28
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:06.120
<v Speaker 2>suppliers Direct Energy, Clearview Energy, Constellation Energy, Direct Energy, Discount Power.

29
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:13.719
<v Speaker 2>Now all of them are different rates, different times. Twelve

30
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:17.639
<v Speaker 2>month fixed rate, eighteen month fixed rate, six month fix rate.

31
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:21.439
<v Speaker 2>Some have no cancelation fees, some have a cancelation fee.

32
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:28.080
<v Speaker 2>I will probably tomorrow go and sign up for it

33
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.280
<v Speaker 2>looks to me like maybe a nine month fixed rate

34
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:36.360
<v Speaker 2>get me through the year twelve point nine to nine

35
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:41.039
<v Speaker 2>cents per kilowatt hour. Okay, I'm currently because they just

36
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:43.879
<v Speaker 2>raised my rate the company that I was with, apparently

37
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.719
<v Speaker 2>my contract went out. I'm going to cut my rate

38
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:52.240
<v Speaker 2>in half, so please take advantage of this tomorrow. Go

42
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.159
<v Speaker 2>and we will talk about that at some point as well.

43
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Now I'm going to continue. I'd love to talk about

44
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.240
<v Speaker 2>this for the balance of the program. I think it's

45
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:17.400
<v Speaker 2>a really important issue. It's a local issue here in Massachusetts,

46
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 2>but it also plays in other states around the country

47
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:22.759
<v Speaker 2>because rates are going up in other states around the country.

48
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Let's go next to Chris down in the Cape. Chris,

<v Speaker 2>your point you're on here? Go ahead? Hello you there, Rob, Yes, yeah,

<v Speaker 2>I'm here. Chris. Put him on hold and I'll come

55
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:51.479
<v Speaker 2>back to him. Let me go to Deborah in Marlborough. Deborah,

56
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.319
<v Speaker 2>you are next on Nightside. Go right ahead.

57
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:57.000
<v Speaker 4>Hi again. I'm so glad that you're talking about this,

58
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.840
<v Speaker 4>and I know everybody else is in the same situation

59
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:05.199
<v Speaker 4>as me. But I got a monthly electric bill actually

60
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:09.759
<v Speaker 4>for a thousand dollars, and you know what, I live

61
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:14.199
<v Speaker 4>in a little mobile home. Can you imagine the highest

62
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 4>I've ever paid for my electricity during the wintertime was

63
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:21.800
<v Speaker 4>around five five fifty And I got a bill for

64
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:24.759
<v Speaker 4>one thousand dollars in the second the last month, the

65
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:28.399
<v Speaker 4>same thing. And I just hope that something can be done.

66
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.800
<v Speaker 4>And I'm going to tell you this bozo, that's the governor.

67
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.360
<v Speaker 4>I didn't vote for her, and I'm not voting for

68
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:37.439
<v Speaker 4>her the next time. And I hope she's gone.

69
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Well she wants to run for president?

70
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:41.360
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I know she does.

71
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:41.680
<v Speaker 5>I know.

72
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:44.160
<v Speaker 4>Can you see that?

73
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Really anything is possible in America exactly.

74
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:51.240
<v Speaker 4>And then the other thing I'm thinking is it's going

75
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:53.199
<v Speaker 4>to be at the point where I mean, I live

76
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.040
<v Speaker 4>by myself here in a small mobile home. That's what

77
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.120
<v Speaker 4>I get for my electric bill. And I'm thinking to myself,

78
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.279
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to actually I'll probably wind up being homeless.

79
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:05.720
<v Speaker 4>And if that happens, I'm sitting outside her her her

80
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.800
<v Speaker 4>mansion and with a sign. Really okay, I cannot even

81
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:10.319
<v Speaker 4>believe it.

82
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:13.839
<v Speaker 2>Let me encourage you to do this. While you were

83
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:18.879
<v Speaker 2>on hold, I gave this play this website. Are you

84
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:20.000
<v Speaker 2>going to you? O?

85
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:24.639
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I got it, And I'm definitely gonna do that.

86
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Great, okay, Because what you can do is, and there

87
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:30.639
<v Speaker 2>are some of these rates. What you should do is

88
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:36.199
<v Speaker 2>look on your bill and where Bill says, let me.

89
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Let me direct you to where you where you want

90
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:42.759
<v Speaker 2>to look. Where you look on your bill? Who's who's

91
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:44.920
<v Speaker 2>your electrical suppliers? That ever source?

92
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.439
<v Speaker 4>National Grid? Oh no, it's National Grid.

93
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:52.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, at some point there you should see that there's

94
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:58.680
<v Speaker 2>a generation service charge okay, which is your in effect,

95
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:03.439
<v Speaker 2>your supplier charge. And I tell you how many killowat

96
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:08.240
<v Speaker 2>hours you used for that, you know, the last month, okay, okay,

97
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.839
<v Speaker 2>and it'll say however many killer what hours? Then it

98
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:16.800
<v Speaker 2>will say kW H for killowat hours times, and then

99
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:20.959
<v Speaker 2>it'll tell you what you're paying per killowat hour. Okay,

100
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:26.680
<v Speaker 2>my generation service charge for my electric bill. It's not

101
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:32.360
<v Speaker 2>National Grid, another supplier more than doubled okay. And I

102
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.879
<v Speaker 2>think what happened was I was asleep at the switch, okay.

103
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:43.519
<v Speaker 2>And and I think that that when this supplier, when

104
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:47.839
<v Speaker 2>my contract ended, I was with this company called Smart

105
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:51.519
<v Speaker 2>Energy out of Hazleton, Pennsylvania. I will be calling him

106
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:55.959
<v Speaker 2>in the morning, okay. So yeah, oh yeah, And I

107
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:58.720
<v Speaker 2>think what you should do is you go to the website,

108
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.600
<v Speaker 2>find out what you're paying. Do you know offhand what

109
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:04.240
<v Speaker 2>you're paying for kill a one hour? Or no?

110
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:07.079
<v Speaker 4>You probably I have to bill but I don't.

111
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well you could find it. It will simply say

112
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:14.439
<v Speaker 2>you're you're how many killow hours you use? Uh? And

113
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:17.079
<v Speaker 2>you can find that because they have to give you

114
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:21.279
<v Speaker 2>your monthly killer what use and others hopefully are listening

115
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:24.120
<v Speaker 2>to me as well. So you you look at the

116
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:26.000
<v Speaker 2>number of KILLO one hours. Then you find where it

117
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:31.199
<v Speaker 2>says generation service charge, and that will tell you what

118
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:35.240
<v Speaker 2>you pay. It will say times point some number. And

119
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:37.240
<v Speaker 2>then you go on this website and you find a

120
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:40.879
<v Speaker 2>better rate, simple as that, and you can you know,

121
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.759
<v Speaker 2>you can pick your supplier. They're going to try to

122
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.120
<v Speaker 2>take this choice away from us. Up there on be

123
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:50.399
<v Speaker 2>con okay, and and do me a favor. Let me know.

<v Speaker 3>No? No, I have a home problem that it's sort

151
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.559
<v Speaker 3>of irrelevant, but I did get back to it and

152
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:23.240
<v Speaker 3>here I am God. I can't thank you enough for

153
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:27.679
<v Speaker 3>this public service. I'm like you. I have a bunch

154
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:32.320
<v Speaker 3>of electric bills from different properties that I have and

155
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:37.159
<v Speaker 3>for the first time earlier this week. I actually scrutinized

156
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:41.000
<v Speaker 3>because I was kind of shocking odd by the amount,

157
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:47.840
<v Speaker 3>and I started looking at the items that are surcharged of.

158
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:49.919
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if it's seven or ten. I don't

159
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:51.440
<v Speaker 3>have the bills in front of me, but I was

160
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:54.360
<v Speaker 3>shot by and I said, I think you'd be doing

161
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.879
<v Speaker 3>beyond the public service you're doing tonight by illuminating this.

162
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, here's what can I just jump in for a second.

163
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.480
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, I apologize for interrupting, but thank

164
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.039
<v Speaker 2>you for the kind comments. I do this because I

165
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.440
<v Speaker 2>believe in it. Okay, I'm in a position where I

166
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:14.879
<v Speaker 2>have a radio station that supports me. I have a

167
00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:17.679
<v Speaker 2>microphone and people can listen or they can choose not

168
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:20.480
<v Speaker 2>to listen. But I want them to listen. And if

169
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:23.519
<v Speaker 2>I can help people tonight, let me give you an example.

170
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.919
<v Speaker 2>We complain about gas prices. Gasoline prices, we all we

171
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.840
<v Speaker 2>drive by gas stations, we see what the price is,

172
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:34.639
<v Speaker 2>we decide we buy gas, we don't. We go to

173
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:37.519
<v Speaker 2>the store and we complain about egg prices and we

174
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.200
<v Speaker 2>either buy them or we don't. But the price is there.

175
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:42.720
<v Speaker 2>You look at one of these bills that you get

176
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.159
<v Speaker 2>and the real important information is buried in the bill.

177
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:49.440
<v Speaker 2>There's so much crap here on the bill the average

178
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:50.639
<v Speaker 2>person cod read it.

179
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:57.240
<v Speaker 3>Right. Well, that happened. I happened for the first time

180
00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:00.799
<v Speaker 3>this week scrutinized one of those and I said, this

181
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:05.519
<v Speaker 3>is hieroglyphics. Uh, and it's a sham. And I think

182
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:08.639
<v Speaker 3>in furtherance of the public service that you do for us,

183
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:12.440
<v Speaker 3>you should have the one or all of the commissioners

184
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:17.559
<v Speaker 3>be examined and cross examined by you as to each

185
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:19.840
<v Speaker 3>in one of these each and every one of these

186
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:25.600
<v Speaker 3>items to be substantiated. I also looking into this for

187
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:28.919
<v Speaker 3>the first time ever, because I just routinely, you know,

188
00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:33.480
<v Speaker 3>reflexively pay these bills as most people do. Yes, yes,

189
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.799
<v Speaker 3>And I worry about the you know, the people that

190
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:40.679
<v Speaker 3>aren't as well off as the rest of us may be,

191
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:44.240
<v Speaker 3>that they just do the same thing as I do.

192
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:50.919
<v Speaker 3>But they're getting just hosed. I tell you, in the vernaculus.

193
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:54.399
<v Speaker 2>You're so right, and they're getting screwed, is what they're getting.

194
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:57.519
<v Speaker 2>That's what that's what's going on. But you're right, And

195
00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:03.120
<v Speaker 2>the problem is that you have older people whose visions

196
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:06.600
<v Speaker 2>has failed is failed a little bit. You have people

197
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.799
<v Speaker 2>who are busy, They're just trying to live their life.

198
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:12.799
<v Speaker 2>You know, I just think about gas station. We complain

199
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:15.720
<v Speaker 2>about gas, but you drive into a gas station there

200
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:18.159
<v Speaker 2>for five minutes, you pay ten dollars or twenty dollars,

201
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:24.039
<v Speaker 2>or you fill your tank and you're all set. It's easy. Supermarkets, yeah,

202
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:27.080
<v Speaker 2>I complain about supermarkets like everything. You know, the prices

203
00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:29.519
<v Speaker 2>are too high. But guess what, I got a choice.

204
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Do I want to buy those Oreo cookies for five

205
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:35.679
<v Speaker 2>forty nine? No way. I love Oreo cookies, but I'm

206
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:37.360
<v Speaker 2>not going to buy them until they come down in price.

207
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:40.080
<v Speaker 2>It's as simple as that. Do I need those Peppers Farm,

208
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:43.360
<v Speaker 2>you know triple chocolate chip dark chocolate cookies that I

209
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:48.039
<v Speaker 2>love for five ninety nine? No way, no way. But

210
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:53.279
<v Speaker 2>when when you try to read these bills it is hieroglyphics,

211
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:54.840
<v Speaker 2>you're absolutely right.

212
00:12:55.759 --> 00:13:00.519
<v Speaker 3>And when you think about it, which I did. That

213
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.799
<v Speaker 3>happened to be coincidentally with my review of this first

214
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:08.720
<v Speaker 3>time ever. Maybe I was thinking who appoints these commissioners?

215
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:11.240
<v Speaker 3>And I saw it either an article in the Globe

216
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:14.320
<v Speaker 3>or the Herald that said the governor appoints. Well, that's

217
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:18.200
<v Speaker 3>not according to my information. It is the secretary of

218
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:23.080
<v Speaker 3>the Executive Office of the Energy and Environmental Affairs affairs

219
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:27.639
<v Speaker 3>emphasis added, what affair are they having? Most of those

220
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.120
<v Speaker 3>of the three, at least two out of three, have

221
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:36.759
<v Speaker 3>no connection to Massachusetts. They're copt baggers and don't have

222
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:40.639
<v Speaker 3>any idea about the struggles of the people. That I

223
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:46.120
<v Speaker 3>learned today, fifty percent of our population, if they had

224
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:51.960
<v Speaker 3>a one thousand dollars unexpected bill, like a repair your

225
00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:55.240
<v Speaker 3>car bill, they wouldn't be able to pay it. Come on,

226
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:58.480
<v Speaker 3>I think you need to have I mean, you don't

227
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:01.399
<v Speaker 3>need to do anything better. I'm just suggesting that, in

228
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.679
<v Speaker 3>furtherance of this topic, that you have one, two, three,

229
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:08.960
<v Speaker 3>or all of them, or if not, the governor or,

230
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:12.440
<v Speaker 3>in particular the appointing authority, which I understand it to be,

231
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.559
<v Speaker 3>which was incorrect correctly reported not once but twice in

232
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:22.200
<v Speaker 3>our local mainstream newspapers of Massachusetts. They referred to it

233
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.279
<v Speaker 3>as the governor to the appointing authority. I've learned, and

234
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:29.919
<v Speaker 3>I may irong, but it's the Executive Office of Energy

235
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:33.679
<v Speaker 3>and Environmental Affairs, and the governor has a veto over that.

236
00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:36.200
<v Speaker 3>In other words, you're right, the governor has it read

237
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:36.679
<v Speaker 3>it to you.

238
00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:40.159
<v Speaker 2>You're right, You're right. The department is overseen by the

239
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:45.039
<v Speaker 2>three member Commonwealth Utilities Commission, appointed by the Secretary of

240
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:49.679
<v Speaker 2>the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, with approval

241
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:56.080
<v Speaker 2>by the Governor. Right the secret the Secretary designates one

242
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:59.240
<v Speaker 2>of the commissioners as chair. Below you can learn about

243
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:01.799
<v Speaker 2>our commission. So the chair is a guy named James

244
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Jamie van Nostrend Okay. He was an adjunct professor at

245
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:15.039
<v Speaker 2>Pace University in White Plains, New York. He received his

246
00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:20.679
<v Speaker 2>environmental law degree at Pace University, jd from the University

247
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:23.879
<v Speaker 2>of Iowa College of Law, and a master's degree in

248
00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:28.559
<v Speaker 2>economics from Sunny at Albany, an undergraduate degree in economics

249
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:32.120
<v Speaker 2>from the University of Northern Iowa. So this guy is Iowa.

250
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:37.240
<v Speaker 2>In New York. Commissioner Cecil Fraser. She received the Bachelor's

251
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:40.240
<v Speaker 2>of Arts degree in political science from Fordham University and

252
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:43.960
<v Speaker 2>her j d from Rutgers University School of Law in Camden.

253
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:49.039
<v Speaker 2>So she's from New Jersey. She was appointed by a

254
00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:52.799
<v Speaker 2>Governor Baker's office okay, and then the last one Stacy

255
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.720
<v Speaker 2>Ruben Commissioner. She at least went to her law degree

256
00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:59.799
<v Speaker 2>is from Northeastern University at a public health degree from

257
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:04.320
<v Speaker 2>HUFFS and a Master of Policy from Vermont Law School

258
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:07.919
<v Speaker 2>undergraduate degree from New York University. So they none of

259
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.679
<v Speaker 2>them are pure Massachusetts residents, none of the three, that's

260
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.159
<v Speaker 2>for sure. Stacy Rubin is the one that is closest.

261
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:19.159
<v Speaker 2>But I gotta tell you, you know that the Secretary

262
00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:22.519
<v Speaker 2>of Environmental Affairs is not in point pointing her cousin

263
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:25.840
<v Speaker 2>Ernie to a position like that. This is all with

264
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:28.360
<v Speaker 2>the approval of the governor. So the buck, as Harry

265
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Truman said, the buck stops at the big desk, simple

266
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:34.639
<v Speaker 2>as that. All right. I love the call, Chris, please

267
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:37.720
<v Speaker 2>keep calling Knights. I tell your friends about Nightside as well. Okay,

268
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:41.679
<v Speaker 2>we'll do. Thank you, Chris, appreciate you. Dan, good night.

269
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Let me go next to I'm gonna get Paul in Plymouth.

270
00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:48.080
<v Speaker 2>In Paul, you were next on Nightside. Welcome Dan.

271
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:52.879
<v Speaker 6>Hey, listen, you know, as far as these bills go,

272
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:58.559
<v Speaker 6>when they generate electricity at Apollo Plant, it's tied in

273
00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:04.440
<v Speaker 6>on this parallel grid, so they're talking about delivery and transmission.

274
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:07.720
<v Speaker 6>It's the same thing. And i'd like to know, uh, well,

275
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:09.880
<v Speaker 6>you already you just said it. I mean, these people

276
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:16.440
<v Speaker 6>have absolutely no qualification in electrical engineering or an electrician

277
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:20.960
<v Speaker 6>anything like that. Any electrical engineer electrician knows uh that

278
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:26.440
<v Speaker 6>these these are just trumped up charges and the duplicity.

279
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:29.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, for the for the most part. The three who

280
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:31.960
<v Speaker 2>were on and I'm a lawyer, okay, but I don't

281
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:34.599
<v Speaker 2>understand the stuff. One guy has his jd from the

282
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:41.440
<v Speaker 2>University of Iowa Law School. Uh Uh, he also worked

283
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.400
<v Speaker 2>at the West Virginia University School of Law. The second

284
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:48.680
<v Speaker 2>one has the j D. She's a lawyer from Rutgers

285
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:52.079
<v Speaker 2>University School of Law in Camden, New Jersey. Uh. And

286
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:54.759
<v Speaker 2>the third one has a law degree from Northeastern University

287
00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:58.359
<v Speaker 2>School of Law. Okay, can of them have any expertise

288
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:00.920
<v Speaker 2>in this? These are three people who never should have

289
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:05.160
<v Speaker 2>been appointed, one by Baker, two by by the current governor.

290
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:06.079
<v Speaker 2>Governor heally.

291
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:07.640
<v Speaker 7>Right.

292
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:12.519
<v Speaker 6>They have no background in electrical or an electricity period,

293
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:16.480
<v Speaker 6>and they're the ones that are making the I'm sure they're,

294
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:20.200
<v Speaker 6>you know, very smart people and proficient in their field,

295
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:24.519
<v Speaker 6>but why are they making the decisions on about electricity

296
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:27.000
<v Speaker 6>when they have no background in electricity?

297
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:30.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, Paul, Paul, you and I are smart people. Okay,

298
00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:33.960
<v Speaker 2>but let's assume Bob Kraft called you and said, hey, Paul,

299
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:35.920
<v Speaker 2>I want you to be the coach of the Patriots

300
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:38.960
<v Speaker 2>and Dan is going to be your defensive coordinator. How

301
00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:40.279
<v Speaker 2>do you think we do, Paul?

302
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:44.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I don't know. I don't hope we'd make it

303
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:45.279
<v Speaker 3>to the Super Bowl.

304
00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:48.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so. No, But I'm not joking when

305
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:51.880
<v Speaker 2>I say that, the fact of the matter is that

306
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:56.000
<v Speaker 2>these are political point is this this group of three

307
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:00.000
<v Speaker 2>when the governor said, you know, we want the editor

308
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:04.759
<v Speaker 2>companies to give something back, they they ordered them to

309
00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:10.440
<v Speaker 2>give back five percent five percent, and the energy company said,

310
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:16.359
<v Speaker 2>we'll give back ten percent. So these knuckleheads, as as

311
00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:20.400
<v Speaker 2>the Great Tom Andino would say, these knuckleheads, they should

312
00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:23.480
<v Speaker 2>have said you got to give back twenty percent. But no,

313
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:28.440
<v Speaker 2>it's like you're making it too easy on us. Commissioners.

314
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:30.680
<v Speaker 2>We gotta make we got to give back ten percent

315
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:34.079
<v Speaker 2>to at least make it look good. And and this right, that's.

316
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:36.599
<v Speaker 3>Why I did to hire you know, and uh, well,

317
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:37.200
<v Speaker 3>let's say.

318
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:41.279
<v Speaker 2>The government that's in competence, that that is absolute incompetence.

319
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:46.119
<v Speaker 2>You're the commissioners, you're asking for five percent and the

320
00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:48.640
<v Speaker 2>people that you're regulating saying no, we'll do you better.

321
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.759
<v Speaker 2>We'll give you ten percent. Governor Healy should should ask

322
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:54.920
<v Speaker 2>for the letters of resignations of those three people tomorrow.

323
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:58.680
<v Speaker 6>She won't, I agree, she won't. Get some engineers and

324
00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:00.240
<v Speaker 6>electricians on that.

325
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:00.920
<v Speaker 3>That's what they need.

326
00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:07.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you this, this is this is a scandal. Okay.

327
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:09.519
<v Speaker 2>It is a scandal, and the governor needs to step

328
00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:11.319
<v Speaker 2>up to it. This is the sort of thing that

329
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:14.599
<v Speaker 2>if she wants to run for president, this is gonna

330
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:17.160
<v Speaker 2>come back. This is like what Boston Harbor was to

331
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:19.559
<v Speaker 2>Mike Dukakis. This is the sort of thing that the

332
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Republicans would do if if she ever became the Democratic nominee.

333
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:24.480
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not betting a lot of money on that.

334
00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:27.400
<v Speaker 2>All Right, I gotta run, Paul, Thank you so much.

335
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate your calling.

336
00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:30.200
<v Speaker 6>Okay again, but thanks you very much.

337
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:30.599
<v Speaker 3>Good night.

338
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Don't talk to you soon, good night, okay. Six one seven, two,

339
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:36.400
<v Speaker 2>five four ten thirty six one seven nine three one

340
00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:38.599

00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:44.359
<v Speaker 2>it on the air. I'll make it on the air tomorrow,

343
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:49.240
<v Speaker 2>but I do a show on I shouldn't say a show.

344
00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:52.640
<v Speaker 2>We do what's called night side postgame on Facebook. If

345
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.240
<v Speaker 2>you're listening tonight and you're near a computer at midnight,

346
00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:00.880
<v Speaker 2>go to your Facebook page and find Nights with Dan Ray.

347
00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:05.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to be making an announcement in advance of

348
00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:09.559
<v Speaker 2>an announcement tomorrow night, but I want my most loyal listeners,

349
00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:12.640
<v Speaker 2>who are people who who check in with me after

350
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:15.599
<v Speaker 2>the show on Facebook, to get a little bit of

351
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:18.400
<v Speaker 2>a head start on this. The only line open right now,

352
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:22.599
<v Speaker 2>we got one line six, one, seven thirty. All of

353
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:26.039
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, this topic has taken off. I am so

354
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:29.000
<v Speaker 2>delighted that people are interested in this because, guess what,

355
00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:33.599
<v Speaker 2>They're picking your pockets back on night side. And by

356
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:37.599
<v Speaker 2>the way, the government is what's doing who is allowing

357
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:40.000
<v Speaker 2>them to pick your pockets back on nightside? After this,

358
00:21:43.319 --> 00:21:47.559
<v Speaker 2>you're on night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's

359
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:52.039
<v Speaker 2>news radio. Yesterday, Governor Healy had a news conference about

360
00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:55.440
<v Speaker 2>these bills. When I say these bills, I'm not talking

361
00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:58.720
<v Speaker 2>about these legislative bills. These these bills from energy companies.

362
00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:03.119
<v Speaker 2>This is the governor are cut thirty five cut thirty five, Rob.

363
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:06.880
<v Speaker 8>And costs in other ways. All Right, every single day,

364
00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:09.680
<v Speaker 8>I want you to know that this team, this administration

365
00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:13.599
<v Speaker 8>and I as Governor am laser focused on lowering costs

366
00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:15.119
<v Speaker 8>for people around Massachusetts.

367
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.599
<v Speaker 1>And one of the biggest budgetbusters.

368
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:21.079
<v Speaker 8>That we've seen lately is what people saw on gas bills,

369
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:24.200
<v Speaker 8>electric bills, heating bills the last couple of months.

370
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:31.759
<v Speaker 2>Laser focused. You weren't laser focused, Governor in October when

371
00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:37.799
<v Speaker 2>your DPU commissioners were granting increases. You know, maybe laser

372
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:40.839
<v Speaker 2>focused now because you know people are upset. Where was you?

373
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:45.519
<v Speaker 2>Where was your team? Governor? Didn't they know that these things?

374
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:50.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the average person doesn't attend DPU meetings, Governor,

375
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:54.319
<v Speaker 2>These would be the questions that I would ask the governor,

376
00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:57.519
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think the governor has any interest in

377
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:01.160
<v Speaker 2>coming on the show on this topic. And again, all

378
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:06.000
<v Speaker 2>sorts of promises here, Okay, here's one. The question is

379
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:08.000
<v Speaker 2>this is what the governor said. This is cut forty,

380
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:10.279
<v Speaker 2>Rob going to talk about all the steps she's going

381
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:11.599
<v Speaker 2>to take. Cut forty.

382
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:16.640
<v Speaker 4>We estimate that these steps, taken together, will save Massachusetts

383
00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:21.359
<v Speaker 4>residents five point eight billion dollars over the next five years, almost.

384
00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:22.000
<v Speaker 8>Six billion dollars.

385
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:24.039
<v Speaker 4>We're going to save money back.

386
00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:27.720
<v Speaker 8>To you over the next five years.

387
00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Now, the people who are clapping there, for the most part,

388
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:34.200
<v Speaker 2>were members of the governor's staff, state employees. I mean,

389
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:38.319
<v Speaker 2>do you believe that. I'll believe it when I see it.

390
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:41.519
<v Speaker 2>To be honest with you, you're not going to save it

391
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:44.920
<v Speaker 2>with this group of DPU commissioners. Let's go to the phones.

392
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:49.480
<v Speaker 2>We're going to go to Miller in Lawrence, Lawrence Miller,

393
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:56.119
<v Speaker 2>Let's do me a favorite Rob, put them on hold,

394
00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:02.759
<v Speaker 2>and we'll never called the radio station before. Okay, that's

395
00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:04.799
<v Speaker 2>good too. Let's go to Joe in Boston. Joe, you're

396
00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:06.319
<v Speaker 2>next on nightside. Go right ahead, Joe.

397
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:08.559
<v Speaker 8>Good evening.

398
00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:11.519
<v Speaker 2>Then, my brother, Joe, how are you. This is not

399
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:13.559
<v Speaker 2>a happy topic we're talking about tonight.

400
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:18.240
<v Speaker 8>No, it's not hard imaginally looking at some of the notes.

401
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:24.480
<v Speaker 8>I don't know if you remember about twenty seventeen eighteen,

402
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:31.559
<v Speaker 8>Kelly Baker had a guy on one of those environmental

403
00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:35.519
<v Speaker 8>boards that he was caught on a hot mic saying

404
00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:38.400
<v Speaker 8>that he was going, we just got to try to

405
00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:42.160
<v Speaker 8>make a hurt for the people, to make them aware

406
00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:46.680
<v Speaker 8>that they have to save energy there was up in

407
00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:49.079
<v Speaker 8>New Hampshire and the guy had to pull it back

408
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:52.319
<v Speaker 8>and he ended up getting fired after that. Yeah, that

409
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:56.680
<v Speaker 8>was one of those people. Yeah, those are the people

410
00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:00.400
<v Speaker 8>that we have on the on the part of the

411
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:04.799
<v Speaker 8>public utilities. Who are these people? I mean, you don't

412
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:07.240
<v Speaker 8>have any electricion in debt. You don't have anybody who

413
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:10.400
<v Speaker 8>has been run in a power plant that can put

414
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:15.599
<v Speaker 8>things forward for us. I got fifty bucks that are

415
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:17.480
<v Speaker 8>going to go have dinner this week. Do you think

416
00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:19.680
<v Speaker 8>that I can't afford to have dinner this week with

417
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:21.000
<v Speaker 8>fifty bucks?

418
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Maybe at McDonald's.

419
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.000
<v Speaker 8>Not even that's insulting then, I mean what they are

420
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:34.559
<v Speaker 8>doing is I mean, and I feel so so bareful

421
00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:39.599
<v Speaker 8>people on fixed income? Yeah, I mean then by bill

422
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:48.279
<v Speaker 8>from six plus with two one thousand dollars, I mean,

423
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:53.440
<v Speaker 8>come on, I mean, thank god, I'm able to you know,

424
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:56.759
<v Speaker 8>with my family, I'm able to handle that. But it's

425
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:01.880
<v Speaker 8>just ridiculous and how somebody in a fixed income can't

426
00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:07.039
<v Speaker 8>handle that. And the DPU who appointing these people, one

427
00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:10.920
<v Speaker 8>of them was by Charlie Baker, you know, the two.

428
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:17.000
<v Speaker 8>But this healing what what by healing? What are they getting?

429
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:21.000
<v Speaker 8>I mean they are giving money. I want to know

430
00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:26.359
<v Speaker 8>the contribution from the utility companies to the candidates, because

431
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:29.559
<v Speaker 8>that's how that is done. Oh and they went, oh,

432
00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:33.119
<v Speaker 8>we're going to take off, you know, the bills from

433
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:36.599
<v Speaker 8>from the next two months, and didn't just give them

434
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:38.759
<v Speaker 8>to you in the middle of the summer. They were

435
00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:42.319
<v Speaker 8>not supposed to be their first starters. I mean, it's

436
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:44.119
<v Speaker 8>just it's like borrowing.

437
00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:47.039
<v Speaker 2>It's like borrowing money. It's like borrowing. It's like borrowing

438
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:50.319
<v Speaker 2>money from from a bookie. You gotta pay it back

439
00:26:50.359 --> 00:26:52.799
<v Speaker 2>and you gotta pay a little interest. It's the same thing.

440
00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:58.839
<v Speaker 8>To eliminate. They have to eliminate all those lobbyists because

441
00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:01.640
<v Speaker 8>that's what they do with That's the same thing that

442
00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:04.720
<v Speaker 8>they do with the insurance. My insurances been going up

443
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:07.720
<v Speaker 8>to the room and guess what, I have an excellent

444
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:12.839
<v Speaker 8>driving record and nothing has changed, nothing has changed whatsoever. However,

445
00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:16.880
<v Speaker 8>they raise the insurance off. Why what's the reason for.

446
00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:22.359
<v Speaker 8>It's just insane. They need a dolge over here, a

447
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:25.440
<v Speaker 8>local dolge. I mean, I will call it a double d.

448
00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:28.680
<v Speaker 8>If they can allow that you have disacled actually to

449
00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:33.400
<v Speaker 8>get into these things, I mean those it might be

450
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:36.960
<v Speaker 8>payful now but it's probably one of the greatest inventions

451
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:40.519
<v Speaker 8>because you can dig in and find out where the

452
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:45.720
<v Speaker 8>waste is in government, because it's so much waste in government.

453
00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:51.559
<v Speaker 8>And if they can establish that from the federal level

454
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:54.680
<v Speaker 8>and just strick down and bring it down to the

455
00:27:54.759 --> 00:28:03.440
<v Speaker 8>local government levels, from the governor to the unity, every

456
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:08.319
<v Speaker 8>single level to a leaminate way. If you're gonna leave

457
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:11.640
<v Speaker 8>meate ways, we'll be a fine I'm with.

458
00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:16.640
<v Speaker 2>You totally, Joe, Joe, Well said, my friend Well said, Uh,

00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:21.440

00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:44.680
<v Speaker 5>Ahead, thank you. Dan. Yeah. I pay my daughter's electric bill,

520
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:51.359
<v Speaker 5>and I've been paying it for like eight years. You know,

521
00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:55.119
<v Speaker 5>it's always like one hundred maybe one hundred and fifty

522
00:31:55.240 --> 00:32:02.839
<v Speaker 5>in the summer. In November, National Grid was having difficulty

523
00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:06.440
<v Speaker 5>with their billing department, and I tried to pay her

524
00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:10.200
<v Speaker 5>bill and they kept saying, we're having difficulties, so we

525
00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:14.559
<v Speaker 5>can you know, can't do it now. All through December,

526
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:21.680
<v Speaker 5>same thing. Finally I called December twenty six and it

527
00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:25.839
<v Speaker 5>said she had a credit of four hundred and fifteen dollars,

528
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:30.240
<v Speaker 5>So I said, wonderful. You know, that's great. He changed

529
00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:37.400
<v Speaker 5>her meter in early December. In February she didn't get

530
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:41.880
<v Speaker 5>any bills at all. In February she got nine bills

531
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:46.640
<v Speaker 5>all at the same time, nine bills.

532
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:49.960
<v Speaker 2>And separate bills, yeah, separate.

533
00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:51.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

534
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:57.440
<v Speaker 2>For how many months.

535
00:32:55.400 --> 00:32:58.640
<v Speaker 5>It went way back to like May. I don't know,

536
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:04.240
<v Speaker 5>you know that.

537
00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:06.839
<v Speaker 2>Joe Inn, that's an issue that involves your daughter and you,

538
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:10.599
<v Speaker 2>and you know that doesn't have application. And what we're

539
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:13.480
<v Speaker 2>really talking about tonight. We're talking about tonight the level

540
00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:17.759
<v Speaker 2>of money that people are asking be paid in Massachusetts,

541
00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:21.839
<v Speaker 2>and I think lack of oversight by the government in

542
00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:23.920
<v Speaker 2>the final Sleep at the Switch.

543
00:33:24.359 --> 00:33:29.319
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the final bill said nineteen hundred dollars.

544
00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:32.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, I guess if it was nine bills. You divide

545
00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:34.519
<v Speaker 2>it and it's like two hundred dollars a month. I

546
00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:36.240
<v Speaker 2>don't know, Joe inn I.

547
00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:41.599
<v Speaker 5>Well, no one bill said zero, you know, but I

548
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:45.039
<v Speaker 5>called them and they said, well that's what it is.

549
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:45.440
<v Speaker 5>You know.

550
00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:50.559
<v Speaker 2>It's just not very helpful, that's for sure. No, Joe

551
00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:54.200
<v Speaker 2>inn I'm trying to get you know, the news between

552
00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:57.680
<v Speaker 2>macro and micro yours is a micro problem. It needs

553
00:33:57.680 --> 00:34:00.720
<v Speaker 2>a microscope to figure it out, and it probably is

554
00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:03.799
<v Speaker 2>not doesn't have great application to most of my audience.

555
00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:07.400
<v Speaker 2>We're talking about the mike, the macro problem that the

556
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:10.840
<v Speaker 2>DPU commissioners here in Massachusetts, we're asleep at the switch.

557
00:34:11.079 --> 00:34:13.719
<v Speaker 2>The governor needs to ask for their resignation.

558
00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:17.159
<v Speaker 5>In my opinion, Well, you know, they want the climate

559
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:20.679
<v Speaker 5>change thing, she said. I heard her say there was

560
00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:26.039
<v Speaker 5>eighty dollars per bill going towards climate stuff.

561
00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:28.880

00:35:48.360 --> 00:35:52.119
<v Speaker 2>team in place. I don't expect Mare Healy to be

593
00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:55.280
<v Speaker 2>sitting at very DPU hearing and she has to have

594
00:35:55.360 --> 00:35:58.440
<v Speaker 2>a Secretary of Energy who follows some That was a

595
00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:02.039
<v Speaker 2>big meeting and they gave they gave a big fat

596
00:36:02.079 --> 00:36:06.280
<v Speaker 2>with kiss the DPU condisioners. They're the problem, and the.

597
00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:10.719
<v Speaker 9>Government money the lottery and they're gonna make him going

598
00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:14.079
<v Speaker 9>to fire off for a ticket next week. You can't

599
00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:21.480
<v Speaker 9>make the stuff up. How abatters some money?

600
00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, maybe I shouldn't regulize. I think what happens is

601
00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:31.199
<v Speaker 2>you legalize betting everywhere and everybody can bet on everything, all.

602
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:39.320
<v Speaker 9>Becoming addicts between them. Anyway, sorry about that guy.

603
00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:42.599
<v Speaker 2>Guys Phil, you have a great one. Good night, you

604
00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:45.400
<v Speaker 2>deserve it. Thanks. Say say if you can bet like

605
00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:50.280
<v Speaker 2>on Laftyan soccer Max matchups, maybe that does detract a

606
00:36:50.280 --> 00:36:54.320
<v Speaker 2>little bit from the very successful Massachusetts lottery. Jeff is

607
00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:58.679
<v Speaker 2>in Whitman. Jeff, you were next on Nightside. Welcome, Hey Dan.

608
00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:01.199
<v Speaker 10>I mean I've done the audit of like all my

609
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:04.039
<v Speaker 10>different services, and a lot of them. I've got rid

610
00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:06.440
<v Speaker 10>of AT and T. I'm almost ready to get rid

611
00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:10.760
<v Speaker 10>of Comcast or Internet and looking for better services. So

612
00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:14.199
<v Speaker 10>for my electric bill, I signed up with Arbor and

613
00:37:14.239 --> 00:37:17.840
<v Speaker 10>they'll negotiate short term contracts for you on who has

614
00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:22.480
<v Speaker 10>the least uh the lowest rate. So and that's worked

615
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:25.199
<v Speaker 10>out for me and I don't have to sit there

616
00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:28.480
<v Speaker 10>for hours going okay, is a clear sky is at?

617
00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:31.679
<v Speaker 10>This company is a fat company?

618
00:37:31.400 --> 00:37:36.239
<v Speaker 2>So I say, just so I understand it. There's a

619
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:41.400
<v Speaker 2>company that you use that negotiates your rates. What is

620
00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:41.920
<v Speaker 2>that company?

621
00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:47.039

<v Speaker 10>And did they automatically set it up for you each time?

625
00:37:54.559 --> 00:37:57.920
<v Speaker 2>So they they charge? Do they charge you for that

626
00:37:58.079 --> 00:37:59.360
<v Speaker 2>service or do.

627
00:37:59.320 --> 00:38:03.039
<v Speaker 10>They get a piece of the auction They somewhere get

628
00:38:03.079 --> 00:38:03.880

640
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:40.639
<v Speaker 1>Two words. Headband flash light. I mean, typically I would

641
00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:43.199
<v Speaker 1>only recommend it for people who are desperate, but it

642
00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:47.320
<v Speaker 1>sounds like you're desperate, So headband flashlight. And the other

643
00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:49.719
<v Speaker 1>thing is if you're living in an apartment, make sure

644
00:38:49.760 --> 00:38:52.800
<v Speaker 1>that the apartment building isn't running something off of your

00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:56.199
<v Speaker 1>electric I live in an apartment one time there running

646
00:38:56.199 --> 00:38:59.719
<v Speaker 1>the laundry room off of my electric thing. So those

653

<v Speaker 2>of first time callers, which I appreciate a whole lot.

654
00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:24.679
<v Speaker 2>I want to thank We had a great conversation with

655
00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:28.760
<v Speaker 2>David Urban, CNN contributor. He happens to be a Trump supporter.

656
00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:32.000
<v Speaker 2>He's sort of the one of the two House Conservatives

657
00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:34.760
<v Speaker 2>at CNN. He also now serves on the board of

658
00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:40.280
<v Speaker 2>directors the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the US Senate.

659
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:42.719
<v Speaker 2>It was a great hour. If you get a chance

662
00:39:48.960 --> 00:39:51.800
<v Speaker 2>We did two hours in the Massachusetts energy bills and

663
00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:54.599
<v Speaker 2>who's to blame? I think I placed it very squarely

664
00:39:55.039 --> 00:39:58.280
<v Speaker 2>at the feet of the Department of Public Utilities commissioners,

665
00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:01.400
<v Speaker 2>three people and the governor, in my opinion, should be

666
00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:05.440
<v Speaker 2>asking for their resignation or firing them tomorrow because they

667
00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:08.719
<v Speaker 2>did not do the job last fall. Anyway, I'm gonna

668
