Sandra Deschaine Versant 945 Pattagumpus Road, Medway, Me 04460 Email ID: deschainesandy@gmail.com Phone No.: 2077463352	10/16/2025	As a quardian, rep payee of my disable daughter, I'm finding increases on all her utility bills, including Versant. She had a bill last month, that was the same kWh as last October and the bill was over 20 dollars more than last October. Now I hear today the electric bill will probably go up $35 more for the average customer if they get the increase they want? That will be increase of least $55 this past year! All utilities have increase this year. Phone/internet, water, sewer, food, direct tv, newspaper, etc. all had significant increase. She just got a write off because of heap, but this is short term and doesn't last all year. Please consider that Maine is one of the highest rates, with other states that get electricity from Maine. They should the one paying more. Please reconsider the electric Companies getting another increase Thank you Sandra Deschaine, quardian/rep. Payee of Kristie Deschaine
