Bill Schofield PO Box 129 Van Buren, ME04785 Email ID:vblight@vblightwater.com Phone No. :207-868-3321	9/10/2020	thank you for the opportunity to comment	PUC Report Sept 2020.pdf
Paul Sheridan - 88 Hart Rd. Northport, ME 04849 Email ID: sheridanpa@earthlink.net Phone No.: 207-338-0350	6/29/2020	I agree with the many state legislators that have written to you--The owners of CMP should share the burden of Covid-19 costs and these costs should not be placed on the public: "As you know, this means these two Avangrid-owned monopolies want their Maine customers to bear the entire burden of their COVID-19 related costs, while their investors pay nothing." That would be wrong! "The supposed value of an investor-owned utility is that it bears, in theory, some of the risk that would otherwise fall to customers. Apparently, Avangrid does not believe this is how it should work. In their view, their investors should have the upside benefit of double-digit equity returns, but customers should be the backstop if things go badly." "We trust your decisions regarding Avangrid and other investor-owned utilities in the pandemic will be made in the spirit of shared sacrifice, and of risks taken by investors, not by customers. We look forward to watching your progress as this inquiry unfolds." Yes! and thank you for your fair consideration of the public in this matter.
