Letter: Don’t fall for promises from Pine Tree Power supporters

SUN JOURNAL • October 11, 2023

As a retired, lifelong Mainer, I’m voting no on Question 3 because I believe it would increase our costs, not lower them. The ballot question says Pine Tree Power will “acquire” existing utilities. Well, we are the ones who must pay for that acquisition, and every number I’ve seen is at least $10 billion. I have nine children and 38 grandchildren, and I know they would be the ones stuck with decades of debt payments. I am voting no on Question 3 this Nov. 7. ~ Susan Madore, Lewiston
