HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A request to Connecticut regulators by the state’s largest electric utility to charge ratepayers $414 million as reimbursement for storm cleanup and restoration ran into opposition on Monday.

U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal and U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney urged state regulators to reject more than half of the company’s request — $286 million — for the costs of damage from a snowstorm in October 2011 and Tropical Storm Irene in August 2011.
