Letter: Campaign spending against Pine Tree Power was obscene

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • November 28, 2023

The utilities opposed to Pine Tree Power reportedly spent $37 million to win this battle, while Pine Tree Power spent about $1 million. We all know that CMP will be asking for more rate increases in the future. We can only hope that the PUC deducts the cost of this wasteful advertising before approving any increases. Are our electric bills paying more for advertising and pocket lining than electricity? ~ Regi Robnett, Portland
