Nice utility you have there, be a shame if something were to happen to it.

It would probably be a lot easier for them to prepare for these storms, if the state would tell the environmentalists to go pound sand whey they want to trim trees. Either that or let them work on a cu-de-sac without a off duty cop to control traffic.

[Steely Tom]

Well Hell, Mr. Governor, why don’t you and the gang of thieves you’ve surrounded yourself with just come right on down here and show us how to run an electrical generation and distribution system? I’m sure a bunch of deep thinkers like you and your cronies will have no trouble showing us how it’s done.

[Lurker]

Or you’ll do what, you lout?

National Grid does not do good maintenance. Many of their power pools are leaning at 30 degree angles. Even ones loaded with transformers. They don’t fix or replace them until they Fall.

Yeah, a hundred thousand trees go Dow, taking telephone poles with them. And Deval thinks the utilities should be prepared for that.

Clearly his accountants think its ok to have inventory matching his entire plant, AND extra staff to put it all back up in 24 hours.

He is such a tool.

OBAMA WILL USE THIS STORM TO SAY POWER IS OUT AND PEOPLE CAN’T VOTE AND HE WILL DELAY THE ELCTIONS OR TRY TO CANCEL THEM

I BET’CHA!

Utilities to the governor:

"We are in the business of providing utility service, we will not take time out of what we are doing to respond to your request for an explanation of or justification for what we do".

[PA Engineer]

What an insidious fool. This storm reminded me for some reason of the first Connections show. The entire episode is on YouTube. The normalcy bias sometimes leads to rot from the bottom up. People need to learn that no politician is going to save them. Until they do, we will be electing people with the name of Deval.

The Trigger Effect

[MasterGunner01]

And WHAT, exactly, has this overbearing, arrogant, munchkin Gov. Deval Patrick done to help? Zero, zip, nada. This inbred perfumed prince issues dictates to his subjects and has absolutely no clue how to lead. He couldn't lead a bunch of randy Donkey politicians through a Chinese cat house with a wad of $100 bills and a wallet full of plastic.

>>Patrick spoke firmly during a Thursday morning radio appearance on WTKK-FM, issuing a stern warning

LOL! The little putz looks and sounds just like Mickey Mouse, except for the tie.

[Jack of all Trades]

The fact that these know nothing, do nothing politicians probably to a man (and woman) can not wire a simple light switch, in no way deters them from frothing up the masses to shake down the utilities. Shameful.

If a storm hits the predominately blue northeast it will depress the vote. Whether that will justify a redo is a good question but I don’t think there is precedent for calling off the vote nationally for a regional concern.
