For the last three years JD Powers and associates annual survey has ranked both CMP and Versant Power at the very bottom.

Both of these privately owned for-profit utility companies have increased rates faster over the last several years than in any other time in Maines history, increasing their profits 4x, while the quality of their service is literally the worst in the nation.

These are corrupt and incompetent corporations that only care about extracting as much wealth from Maine as possible and care nothing for their customers.

There are many articles detailing their long history of corruption. Here is just one:

Vote for the Pine tree State power initiative ballit measure in 2023 and vote these criminals out of our power grid!

In case you need a short lesson on how the corruption within for profit utility companies typically works here’s a good segment from last week tonight on the issue:

Of course there are other even more blatant types of corruption, like political bribery, and I’m sure CMP engages in that as well.

The advent of online real estate apps and free or cheap real estate software has led to real estate agents taking even less than the traditional 5% in recent years.

I would walk away from any real estate agency asking more than 5% or 2.5% respectively.
