York Cable seeks contract amendments to change rate hike process

York Cable Corp requests amendments to its Biddeford contract to shift rate increase approvals from city council to a time-bound window and arbitration. The aim is to remove politics from rate decisions and let the marketplace determine pricing, with potential future rate discussion after contract change. City and company spokesmen note past rate increases and FCC changes allow municipalities to exit rate making. Arbitration would sidestep political influence, trustees hope, with discussion slated for the next city council meeting on December 7.

Hjort seeks plan to end North Saco moratorium

Saco City Councilor Richard Hjort proposed placing a city hired soils scientist on site assessing septic capacity before building permits. He argues the moratorium should end with regulation, not a free-for-all, and notes most buyers of single house lots lack septic knowledge. The plan would require soils capability checks as a building prerequisite.
