Connecticut Power Rates

WCBS News Radio 880:

Hartford (AP) -- Some legislative leaders are calling on state regulators to delay accepting bids from power suppliers that help determine electrical rates.

They're calling on the state Department of Public Utility Control to postpone the deadline for those bids which are due today.

The lawmakers say such a delay will give the legislature a chance to work on the system that has seen electric rates jump several times since deregulation.
