We’ve talked to thousands of Mainers who can’t trust our investor-owned utilities to keep the lights on. That’s why we keep showing up and working toward a solution with a “yes” vote on Question 3. In all our conversations so far, we haven’t seen CMP and Versant speak for themselves. They certainly haven’t brought forward any solutions. Why do they spend hundreds of millions on political theater instead of fixing their worst in the nation service? What is their plan to save Mainers money? Last year, we paid CMP and Versant more than a billion dollars. What did that get us? We had the most frequent outages of any state in the nation, the worst customer satisfaction in the nation, and one in 10 Maine households were sent a disconnection notice. The math doesn’t add up. ~ Al Cleveland and Lucy Hochschartner are campaign managers with the “Yes on 3” campaign for Pine Tree Power.
