Sen. Successfully Blocks MA Dem Bill to Remove NatGas for 2nd Day

Last week, we told you about a modern-day Paul Revere, a Republican Senator from Massachusetts who single-handedly blocked a horrible bill that empowers state regulators to “terminate [natural gas] service to consumers so long as they have access to ‘safe, reliable, and affordable alternatives'” (see Republican Blocks Mass. Democrat Plan to Forcibly Remove NatGas). Sen. Ryan Fattman, from Sutton, used a procedural tactic to delay debate of the bill by one day to allow Senators to read and understand what is contained in this horrible bill. Fattman's delay pushed the bill back from last Thursday to Friday. On Friday, Fattman was able to do it again, pushing the bill off for debate (and a vote) until at least Tuesday (tomorrow). Will it be enough time to stop Massachusetts from plunging into the energy abyss?
