PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • May 22, 2021
In the Press Herald’s coverage of Thursday’s public hearing on the act to create Pine Tree Power, very little space was given to the complaints of many of the supporters of L.D. 1708 that Central Maine Power and Versant are dismal failures in service to their customers and in the operation of their transmission and distribution systems. The time has come for Maine to relinquish its lamentable title as the state with the least reliable electricity supply and lowest customer satisfaction. It’s time to pass L.D. 1708 and let the ratepayers in Maine decide if they want to trade in profit-driven CMP and Versant for customer-driven Pine Tree Power. ~ Bill Dunn, Yarmouth
