Of course that is exactly what is going to happen. The power companies and all the others will pass it on. The consumers will always fork out the bill in the end. And I have a sneaking suspicion all the CT money will end up in the govt pockets to resurface again in two years just on time to splash the voters for another BS run before for the election or even better, narrowing down the deficit they made to look good. You wait and see.
