MAINE PUBLIC • April 13, 2020

Central Maine Power and Canada’s Hydro-Quebec spent more than $7 million in the first quarter of the year opposing a prospective referendum that could scuttle a controversial transmission project through western Maine. The total spending by both companies since last year is now more than $9.5 million. No CMP Corridor reported slightly less than $100,000 in donations for the quarter, including in-kind donations from Stop the Corridor.
