I am writing to express my support for the Pine Tree Power campaign. As a lifelong resident of Maine, I fully support this initiative. I recently got my first teaching job in this great state, and I know that this initiative will keep our schools powered in a way that fully supports our student’s learning. Due to the current unreliable system, many Maine residents have complained about frequent power outages that can last for days. In our most vulnerable communities, this can lead to a discrepancy in available educational resources for students who need them the most. ~ Colin Harris, Shapleigh
