MORNING SENTINEL • June 6, 2021
I’m Isaiah Wadsworth. I’m 26, a USM alumnus and a proud Central Maine Power employee. I’m very concerned with L.D. 1708, the act to create Pine Tree Power. Rep. Seth Berry’s calculations don’t add up. The government takeover would require a buyout worth billions of dollars. Second, I don’t believe the government could better manage the grid. The state has no experience; CMP has 120 years. Third, by passing this bill you are replacing long-term careers with temporary positions. Keep the dedicated employees of CMP and Versant Power on board so we can continue to proudly serve Maine. ~ Isaiah Wadsworth, Waterville
