I have recently received three glossy mailers from Maine Affordable Energy urging me to “Vote NO on Pine Tree Power on Nov. 7.” An easy search reveals what should be obvious: Maine Affordable Energy is financed by Avangrid, the for-profit parent company of Central Maine Power. Will the people of Maine be fooled by CMP? We need a citizen-controlled entity to fairly, reliably and cost-effectively transmit and distribute electric power in Maine. Please vote “Yes” for the creation of Pine Tree Power on Nov. 7. ~ William Fritzmeier, Bath
