Been there for the last decade or so at least

I say follow the other user’s investigation suggestions but if you really can find no cause and CMP totally refuses to budge, consider involving the AGs office by filing a consumer protections complaint. I had excellent luck with them when Nordx refused to bill my insurance, ignored my messages for like 10 months and tried to send me to collections. AG put the right pressure on them.

I know more than one person who had CMP billing them for the wrong meter number and claimed to have fixed it only to not have fixed it.

Downvotes are likely due to a perception of betrayal from your comment. You say you’re a former Mainer who moved to Florida and feel Maine should “keep” LePage since you already have enough crazy politicians and that LePage “is and always will be a Mainer”. I think what that tells other people is that even though Lepage dipped for Florida after his term was up, he’s still a Mainer that we “own” but you as a Mainer who also moved out aren’t and don’t “own” him. There’s also possible frustration over you complaining about the number of conservative assholes in a state known for conservative assholes you chose to move to. Also (and I could be wrong here), but it seems to me that LePage has a lower chance of doing political damage in Florida vs Maine since his native status and history of political involvement in Maine gives him a familiarity edge vs Florida and his views are already more in line with Floridas current policies to begin with. I think you’re generally receiving negative attention because people feel the comment is a little shortsighted and not directly supportive of keeping LePage out of Maine politics

They’re fine as long as you don’t walk on icy surfaces. Makes it a bit ironic as a Maine staple when they’re useless for a much of “boot wearing season”. Good with thick socks on a rainy day, but slick as hell on ice.
