Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley has called on National Grid and Eversource to halt utility shutoffs for federal workers and contractors affected by the ongoing government shutdown. She stated that over 45,000 federal employees in Massachusetts are missing wages, making it difficult for them to pay their utility bills.

In letters to the utility companies, Pressley emphasized the need for compassion, urging the implementation of a payment deferral program that imposes no fees or down payments. She highlighted the potential harms of service interruptions, advocating for continued support during this financial strain.
