A campaign called “No Blank Checks,” also known as “Maine Affordable Energy,” is a trojan horse being used by CMP and their foreign owned parent company, Iberdrola, to obstruct and interfere with Maine’s democratic process. They are forcing a pointless law that would exist solely for the purpose of maintaining their monopoly and their massive profits. Please do not support or sign any petition from the No Blank Checks campaign. They are organized by a DC-based firm using out-of-state petition gatherers from far-away states like Texas and California who will not live with the consequences. Most frustratingly, No Blank Checks is funded by the profits CMP has made from the price gouging Mainers for our electricity. ~ William Hardy, Sanford
