- Maine PUC considers proposal to allow electric companies to tip off law enforcement
- Date posted
- 25 minutes ago
- Description
- Border patrol and other law enforcement agencies believe there are as many as 250 illegal cannabis growing operations in Maine, generating billions in revenue.
Most are in homes or barns in rural parts of the state, making it a challenge for police to locate them.
High electric bills at these illegal grow houses may be the key to tracking them down. The Maine Public Utilities Commission will soon consider a proposal to authorize Central Maine Power and other electric companies to point law enforcement in the direction of illegal marijuana growing operations.

- A controversial bill requiring a 72-hour waiting period before buying a gun will soon become law in Maine, while a bill to ban bump stocks was vetoed.
Governor Janet Mills allowed the waiting period bill to become law without signing it, saying she was conflicted and recognized valid arguments from both sides.
Opponents like Nate Maillet, who owns First Due Firearms in Sabattus, worries how this will affect gun sales, especially small businesses who rely on spontaneous or on the spot purchases, sometimes at events like gun shows.
