MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • May 31, 2020
Like thousands of would-be tourists, I am hoping to spend a week or so visiting Maine late this summer. Months ago I made reservations to fly into Portland where I would rent a car. Then I have accommodations booked for seven nights along the coast as far north as Stonington. At the moment your governor has implemented a 14-day quarantine for out-of-state visitors. But it makes no sense for us to be bottled up in a motel for two weeks before taking a one-week vacation. It’s time for the governor to review the quarantine policy, and consider the potential devastation that this restriction would cause to your tourist industry. ~ Peter Gilderson, Madison, Miss.
