I'd recommend to start calling your localish roasters and asking them. Many will sell you green beans. Alternative Happy mug is a very good east coast resource for green beans for a good price.

The $10B (or 13, or whatever gets decided after years in court) is just for the assets CMP already owns. Actually operating the utility will take hundreds of millions per year.

Some individual storm restorations in New England have cost tens of millions in a week. Isaias in CT cost over 100M for one utility.

My neighbor was hired a year or two ago for the facilities department. He said they didn't drug test, only concerned with tobacco for insurance purposes.

You seem knowledgeable about this so could you elaborate? Just from reading headlines 10B purchase price and 100M per year profits from cmp seem reasonable assumptions, with no interest (ie interest matches inflation) it would take 100 years to pay that down.

Imagine if we just had a simple bidding process rather than sole sourcing to one company that doesn’t exist yet.

Now further imagine you’re an employer considering investment in a state where the government just points at your shit and takes it when they want.

Game citadel is the only one in the immediate area. But Briar Patch has a very small selection as well. And Bull Moose and Books a Million have a medium sized section. Also Target/Walmart occasionally have some good ones.

You’ll need to drive to Belfast or Augusta for the next closest dedicated boardgame store other than Game Citadel.

If you are on Facebook, you can join the Bangor Area Gamers Guild-BAGG group. They have boardgame meetups and folks sometimes sell their used games there. Also, there’s a gaming convention held in Bangor most Januaries called Snow Con.
