Bobby CharlesGUEST
And the last thing I'll just say is by dropping energy costs, which we talked about a moment ago, we will also have the direct effect of lowering your property taxes because in addition to rolling back the unfunded mandates and in addition to the exemptions, you are then in a position where the schools and the jails and others don't pay high energy taxes.
Bobby CharlesGUEST
And just to show you that's significant, in Skowhegan, by way of example, their overall energy costs in their jail in 2020 were $100,000.
Bobby CharlesGUEST
or what was that $0.06 a kilowatt hour.
Bobby CharlesGUEST
It has now gone to $0.19 a kilowatt hour, and their last year costs were $250,000.

Robb MooreGUEST
Uh, met my wife.
Erik FabianHOST
That's a fascinating story.
Erik FabianHOST
I don't have a cookbook to anchor that discussion around yet, but just the way that Maine Grains up there has been an engine of economic Recovery for the small town of Skowhegan, Maine-
Samuel FromartzGUEST
Right
Erik FabianHOST
... um, both by milling and selling grains and other products, but just building out a real estate footprint and creating jobs and, you know, and, and different kinds of economic vitality by linking up that green community with the different elements is really fascinating.

It alleges that paper making at Sappi's Skowhegan mill, Huhtamaki's Waterville plant, and two defunct facilities are responsible for the contamination.
Peter McGuireCORRESPONDENT
The district shut down the well in 2024 after recorded PFAS levels above the state safety limit.

The well reopened last week with an expensive filtration system.
