Only Republicans voted NO while every Democrat voted in favor of this insider deal to defray energy costs to RI ratepayers.
Excerpt from Projo: 
"...renewable energy development is taking place at a rapid clip in RI, fueled by state incentive(s) ... that pay above-market prices for solar & wind power. Those premium rates are funded by ELECTRICITY CONSUMERS under state law..." 

Whip Chippendale:
In voting for H6066 the legislature is setting the table to give National Grid the power to defray the expensive renewable energy costs to the ratepayers. Customers are going to get hammered while National Grid, their lawyers, developers and contractors get filthy rich on the backs of RI ratepayers.

About rhode island house republicans


In 1636, Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island, established the first working model of Democracy after being banished from Massachusetts for his “extreme views” concerning freedom of speech and religion. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams publicly acknowledged Williams as the originator of these concepts, along with the freedom of public assembly, in the First Amendment in the United States Constitution. Today, Rhode Island House Republicans uphold the liberties designed by our Founders and preserved in our Constitution, and are the primary legislative body promoting lean government, fighting for lower taxes, and advocating for initiatives and policies that improve the economy and in turn, the lives of Rhode Islanders.  As members of a part-time assembly, we are small business owners, retired educators, community activists, lawyers, farmers, military service veterans, volunteers, former local officials, retired social workers, coaches, musicians, churchgoers and board directors -- bringing these community engagement and professional experiences to our work, on your behalf, at the Rhode Island State House.
