Adams Letter Queries Maine Phone Companies on Secret Government Leaks

Parkside State Representative Herb Adams has submitted a letter to the Maine heads of Verizon and AT&T in response to reports that the companies are among the phone companies that have released the phone records of some 200 million Americans to the federal government.

Adams’s letter asked the companies whether the records of Maine consumers were released; whether the companies were compensated for releasing the information; who consumers could contact within the organizations to find out if their records were released; and where they should direct complaints.
