Central Maine Power’s electricity corridor is a bad deal for Maine for many reasons, and I believe that is why CMP, which has been ranked as the worst-run U.S. company for customer satisfaction, is spending millions of dollars on deceptive ads trying to confuse people and convince them to support something they know has been very unpopular across the state. CMP’s latest line of deception is about “retroactive laws.” Voting yes on Question 1 on the upcoming ballot stops the CMP power corridor from going forward, and it’s retroactivity provisions are focused on this issue, not some broad attempt to prevent any other kind of project or to hurt Maine’s economy. Please vote “Yes” on Question 1 to reject the CMP power corridor and to show that Mainers can not be deceived by CMP’s dishonest big-money ads. ~ James Bilancia, Brewer
