Foreign-owned power companies are investing millions of dollars in the attack on Pine Tree Power. Last year their millions in profit went to big executive salaries and out-of-country investors, while Central Maine Power was again rated the worst power company in the eastern U.S.
It’s because these companies have a near-monopoly over our electrical service and are accountable primarily to their investors. Mainers are rightly fed up.
Public utilities, including some local ones in Maine, have been around for a long time. Pine Tree Power would be all about what’s best for Mainers, not for wealthy investors just out to make big money off our hardworking people. Please vote “yes” on Question 3 to break the CMP and Versant Power corporate monopoly.
