Massachusetts folk: contact your state senators and ask them to oppose this bill when they take it up. The bill kills Mass Save which has helped tons of people including me make their homes and apartments more efficient and sustainable. It also allows utilities to continue to charge ratepayers for the cost of utilities’ lobbying, which is normally against renewable energy. And the bill’s lead sponsor Rep. Cusack has taken donations that look clearly corrupt. #MApoli

Mass. House advances bill aimed at tackling energy affordability

House Ways and Means Chairman Aaron Michlewitz expects Bay Staters will see "immediate cost savings" as a result of new rebates and Mass Save cuts if the bill becomes law. Environmental activists have argued this week that the House's cut to Mass Save would "devastate" the state's energy efficiency program and grind it to a halt.

@D_J_Nathanson I can't wait to hear Democratic reps defend their vote. Yeah, I don't like spending too much money on administration either, but unless we're expecting technicians to be psychic, or we're eliminating regulations, you kind of need them.

@dnkboston It's corruption in the leadership and draconian party discipline at the bottom. The whole thing is rotten.

@D_J_Nathanson I wish people understood what it was like in MA. That bill absolutely reeked of corruption from jump, and reps are absolutely unapologetic. I want to completely clean house.
