I hate to say it bud, but Maine was never going to pass Pine Tree Power (consumer owned electric company--important to note they wouldn't be state owned because they couldn't access state taxes. It was just going to be non-profit and have an elected oversight board). Existing power companies poured too much money into a propaganda campaign against it. BUT! Maine did vote to prevent companies owned by foreign entities from campaigning too much in the state which was part of that fight, and to recognize Native treaties, so these are small wins.

Yeah but a boy could dream for that to pass. Also yeah those are some really good wins
