How dumb does Central Maine Power think we are? It’s spending millions on ads that try to scare us with dire predictions about how Pine Tree Power wouldn’t work. It’s trying to confuse us with an inflated purchase cost and suggestions that “politicians” would be running the new company.

It thinks we don’t remember living through CMP’s multiday power outages and screwed-up billing.

Yes, please, give us more of this! We want to keep one of the country’s worst power companies as our provider. We’re just simple Mainers who can’t run our own utilities; we need a multinational corporation to do it for us. So just keep those power outages coming.

Or maybe we’re not as dumb as CMP thinks we are. Please vote “yes” on Question 3.
