Bob Stefanwoski visits and we talk to the businessman and 2018 gubernatorial candidate about the weeklong power outage. Bob reminds us that Eversource is controlled by PURA, a state agency, that is supposed to protect customers from bad decisions and price gouging. So why are government officials blaming Eversource for bad decisions and price gouging?

Repairs to the power grid, ravaged by Tuesday's storm, continue to go slowly. We discuss the state's tradition of failure with big storms in a highly regulated environment, as well as changes that might be needed to better protect the state moving forward.

The conversation with Michael Harrison isn't particularly political this week, focusing more on humans and how we process life.

We follow Ned's press conference with sound cuts from the governor, a few Rant Line calls, and lots of phone calls from listeners unhappy over the slow return of power after Tuesday's storm. One Ned cut is him on Tuesday saying there's no need for declaration of a state of emergency, and another is him blaming the electric utilities, which are completely regulated by the state.
