FROM THE NEWSROOM: HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A Boston environmental group is challenging how energy policy is coordinated by New Englands six governors. The Conservation Law Foundation has submitted public records requests in the regions six states. It says a plan by the governors appears to be the product of backroom deal-making rather than sound public policy informed by open dialogue. The governors in January announced a plan to expand natural gas use. They asked the regions grid operator, ISO-New England, for technical help to seek proposals to build transmission equipment and public works to deliver electricity to up to 3.6 million homes. They also asked ISO to figure out how to finance the project. Connecticut and Vermont energy officials said the governors have been transparent in coordinating a policy and that their efforts are only beginning.
