Do you support or oppose this ballot measure?

Some have suggested that Central Maine Power and Versant, which are both foreign-owned companies, should both be replaced by a consumer-owned utility - a local non-profit company, the Pine Tree Power Company, which would be owned by Maine people. Do you support or oppose the idea of a consumer-owned utility company?

In November of this year, voters will vote on a ballot measure relating to the CMP Corridor, which will ask the following: "Do you want to ban the construction of high-impact electric transmission lines in the Upper Kennebec Region and to require the Legislature to vote on other such projects in Maine retroactive to 2014, with a two-thirds vote required if a project uses public lands?" Do you support or oppose this ballot measure?

Some have suggested that Central Maine Power and Versant, which are both foreign-owned companies, should both be replaced by a consumer-owned utility - a local non-profit company, the Pine Tree Power Company, which would be owned by Maine people. Do you support or oppose the idea of a consumer-owned utility company?
