Governor Baker wants to bill all of us for new gas pipelines! He wants to add a charge to our electricity bills to pay for polluting new fossil fuel infrastructure.
On February 25, the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities, which is part of Baker's administration, is holding a hearing about whether or not Eversource customers should be forced to pay for the giant Access Northeast pipeline project.
We need to stand up and speak out. We should not be forced to pay for polluting new pipelines we don't need!
