regulators plan to investigate why Internet service was interrupted across Vermont for the second time in a month. Customers
of Level Three Communications of Colorado could not surf the Web or use their

The
Douglas Administration is raising questions about the financial stability of
the new owners of the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant.
The
administration says the new company will be financially weak because it will have
to borrow billions of dollars.

the new questions are prompting critics to ask why the governor vetoed a recent
Vermont Yankee bill. The bill would have required the new owners to guarantee it
has enough money set aside to decommission the plant.
