Concord acting insurance commissioner Leo Fraser denounces a Senate amendment as anti consumer and says it would cripple mass group insurance except for life, health and accident coverage by forcing 500 members and 75 percent participation for any plan. He criticizes lack of public hearings and vows to fight the measure, which could return to the House for action. Christopher A. Riley earns four degrees from Tufts University in chemistry mathematics physics and French.

Public hearings set for June 4 by the Public Utilities Commission. Consumer advocate Marc Kaplan forecasts savings and argues the plan could ease demand and reduce reliance on costly older power plants.
