The Maine Public Utilities Commission on Tuesday unanimously dismissed a complaint led by independent U.S. Senate candidate Max Linn of Bar Harbor to stop construction of the controversial Central Maine Power hydropower project, saying the complaint lacks merit. Linn filed the 10-person complaint with the commission on Sept. 16 after threatening to sue Central Maine Power over the proposed $1 billion project through western Maine that would bring Quebec hydropower to the regional grid.
