HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Democratic legislative leaders have attempted to revise a contentious proposal that would change how 800,000 electricity customers in Connecticut purchase power, aware that if the program doesn’t garner enough support from lawmakers there will be an $80 million revenue hole in the state budget.

In a letter obtained Thursday by The Associated Press, the leaders informed Attorney General George Jepsen that they’ve added a number of consumer protections to the proposal.
