So here is my final word. I don’t trust CMP at all. They are fighting to make everyone think it is a bad idea. They are spending millions on ad campaigns to tell you so. They offer high prices to just deliver the energy. Whenever someone that has been proven to be shitty all of a sudden is trying to show you how bad the fix is, there is a reason. Over the years it was done by tobacco with cancer and the oil/gas industry when it came to lead. So I will go with the other team because the status quo isn’t working.

No. My healthcare is taken care of, thank you very much and that’s how it should be for everyone in the country.

Just saying that the proposal gives no guarantees, no cost estimates, no savings estimates, no info on who will run it, or who might have the expertise to improve CMPs customer service.

Tell us how this takeover will improve life for Maine and CMP’s customers and how much it will cost. A little estimation and analysis would go far. As an Analyst I want to see their analysis of the proposed buyout. Would you buy any business without knowing total cost, loan or bond payments and payoff, estimated profits, and so much more that should be considered for a buyout.

Right now it seems like the people organizing this endeavor want blank checks to do whatever they want, without supplying any estimates of money or time.

You, and they, say things will improve. Then I am looking forward to their commercials with information showing us all how things will improve. Until then it is all hot air! Prove it- give us examples of previous takeovers, their costs and timelines and how they relate to this proposal.

i’m with that. while i was just joking around in my original post, there is a hint of truth to it. there’s certain things i’ll never go without again in my life as long as i can help it, truck and chainsaw being two of them.

i remember the days of driving with the hatch and back door open in my wrangler on the way home from home depot. sheetrock hanging out the back, plywood strapped to the roof. i did that only a few times before i said fuck it and bought a truck. i always feel for the people loading up their cars at those stores. i’m not saying it can’t be done, but boy is life a hell of a lot easier now.

Are you one of those people that believes socialized medicine would be more expensive as well? Yes it is an investment but we can’t continue on the path we are on. We are going to be installing wind and solar at our home because of the ridiculous energy prices here. We are lucky that we can afford to do so. The delivery fees CMP charges is more than what an electric bill should be. You are being fleeced and you are denying it. I can’t help you understand how a public utility is better than a private for profit utility. BTW those electric co-ops were take overs by the local communities because they were being robbed. Do more research or live in your delusion. South Carolina is too red to allow a massive takeover of the power grid, it would help too many people. It is why we moved out of it.

Most trucks I see have nothing in the bed. They just want folks to think they have a bigger sack than anyone else. Some even hang their sack from the trailer hitch. But the bed remains empty. There is a psycho-phrase for that.
