The world is in chaos, and we have no functioning government — all thanks to the hubris and dysfunction of the Republican Party. There is a documented insurrectionist who is trying to insert himself as third in line to the presidency. House members who are not supporting him are receiving death threats. This is not […]

Central Maine Power is a mess, last in JDPower’s 2022 customer satisfaction survey nationwide, fourth year in a row. Let’s take its assets and turn CMP/Versant into a tax-exempt community-owned electricity provider. Sadly, not so easy. Its impact on our bills is unpredictable, but other points matter.
