PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • January 17, 2023
My job at Central Maine Power is to be sure electricity moves through the grid. In the coming years, we’ll use electricity more and more to feed our families, heat our homes, keep our cars and trucks running. That’s what we’re preparing for at CMP. Sadly, the Pine Tree Power proposal we will see on the ballot in November will throw a giant wrench into all that work, if it passes. Planning our electrical grid for the future requires people with knowledge and experience. It requires the long view. I work with those people now; they’re experts in their fields. They know what needs to be done and how to do it. Let them continue. Vote against Pine Tree Power. ~ Todd Hatch, lead lineworker, Central Maine Power, North Yarmouth
