Letter: Replace Maine’s unreliable utilities with public power authority

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • May 21, 2021

When I hear that Maine residents are the documented bearers of unreliable and expensive power, and we are the most dissatisfied with our service, the only question I have is: Why would any consumer continue to pay the most money for unreliable services with very little satisfaction of their needs? If investor-owned power has been proven to be unreliable and expensive in Maine, why should we continue to do business with them? L.D. 1708, An Act To Create the Pine Tree Power Company, would be a disconnect notice to Central Maine Power and Versant. ~ Rafael Macias, Topsham
