G. Afonso As Chairman Of Department Of Telecommunications And Energy ...(Governor) Romney also announced the formation of a task force led by Afonso and comprised of industry and state officials to look into the state's preparedness to deal with a similar catastrophe and determine if any new measures are necessary to keep power disruptions from spreading. "We are fortunate that we were not severely affected by the power outages,'said Romney.
