I am troubled by the proposal to allow Central Maine Power to build a transmission line through the mountains of western Maine. The construction of this line would destroy the natural beauty of western Maine. As an avid outdoorsman, I appreciate Maine and its natural beauty. The line would disturb a part of Maine that could never be replaced. Another reason I am troubled by CMP’s new transmission line is that Maine would give up its land for the benefit of Massachusetts. The final nail in the coffin is that J.D. Power has recently ranked CMP among the worst utilities. Let’s hope that the people of Maine decide to vote this down and keep Maine beautiful. ~ Colby Fournier, Glenburn
