Reply to comment by P-Townie in Powers out, generators broken, CMP is still assessing and I can’t have my coffee. How many are in same position. by dadoftwins04

Nope. But I can cancel my cable and my HR team can put pressure on my insurance company. Even with CMP, the PUC has oversight.

We have zero recourse with the government.

Pine Tree Power would have oversight from the Maine Public Utilities Commission. You can't cancel your electric service any differently now than you could under public power, so that's not an argument for private ownership. You sound privileged to have an HR team that will fight for you.
