Central Maine Power Co.’s new president and CEO said Wednesday that he plans to continue efforts to restore trust in the embattled company, a task started by David Flanagan, the CMP leader taking a diminished role after being diagnosed with cancer. Joseph Purington, a Jay native, comes to the utility from Eversource Energy, where he was president of New Hampshire operations. Flanagan revealed he is battling pancreatic cancer, getting twice-weekly treatments at the Harold Alfond Center for Cancer Care in Augusta.
