Dear Editor: 

The foreign owners of CMP and Versant have spent more than $40 million dollars on TV ads against the Pine Tree Power proposed by question 3. This is obviously because they want you to vote “No” to protect the even larger profits they make at our expense. 

If question 3 passes, the owners of our power distribution will be you and me. It will be a nonprofit that instead of sending money across the ocean will spend it right here for better equipment, maintenance and service.  

Ask yourself: if the owners of CMP are spending millions on ads, which they are, to fight the creation of Pine Tree Power, how much greater profits are they protecting, hiding behind their corporate walls?
